Offerings

One of the ways you can help ensure the success of The Sacred Antinous Performance Campaign is to make an Offering. While the benefits are not quite as tangible as they'd be for the purchase of Religious Artifacts, Offerings are a wonderful way to have your name and/or message enshrined permanently in this website. (For those of you in the theatre world, another way to think of an Offering is as a gesture of financial support for a playwright's independent theatre initiatives. The difference is that here, a single payment gets you lifetime membership.)

Your purchase of a Tile, Plaque or Wall within the Hall of Initiates will be acknowledged with an individually designed graphic that can be positioned in any available space within the 110 Divisions of the Hall. Additionally, there are 4 "Chambers" which consist of three Wall-sized areas available for purchase. If you would like your Offering to include a specific graphic, it must be e-mailed to us in .gif form (i.e. transparent).

Although Tiles, Plaques and Walls are sized in such a way that they are each divisible by smaller units, it is not possible to purchase a larger sized unit and divide it up among several different messages. For instance, you are prohibited from purchasing a Wall-sized Offering, and then requesting the creation of 3 Plaques and 4 Tiles, 2 Plaques and 8 Tiles, 16 Tiles, etc. You are, however, welcome to choose the particular division number within the Hall on which you'd like your Offering to appear.

Each Offering is entitled to receive:

  • An approriately sized .jpg graphic depicting your personalized message;
  • A permanent link from that graphic to any webpage, blog, or e-mail address you choose;
  • A listing of your name or organization within the Hall of Initiates Index page, ordered by division number, and hyperlinked to any webpage, blog, or e-mail address you choose;
  • For Wall or Chamber Offerings only, the option to commission Shawn Postoff in the development of an original composition to express your personalized message. (Ahhh... patronage!)

Below is a table listing the various Offering options. All payments are handled through a secure PayPal server. Once your payment has been processed, you will be taken to an Offering Details Form in order to compose your message and complete the Offering.

  • STEP 1: Choose your Offering Level
  • STEP 2: Proceed to PayPal in order to finalize your payment
  • STEP 3: Be automatically redirected to the Offering Details Form
  • STEP 4: Within a reasonable amount of time, you will be asked to approve your Offering Graphic

Should you have any questions, comments, problems or concerns, you can contact us at any time for help. For payment issues, contact offerings [at] sacredantinous [dot] com. For issues relating to the design and administration of your Offering within the Hall of Initiates, please contact initiates [at] sacredantinous [dot] com.

Your Wall can be linked to any page on the Internet.

See an example Wall. (Link opens in a new window).



For an Offering of $5000 CDN, you can receive your own chamber in the Hall of Initiates, consisting of 3 writeable Walls of up to 600 h X 600 w pixels each.

Composition: Your Own or Commissioned.

As with the Wall Offering (above), you now have a vast amount of available space and text to work with. This Offering level is most definitely to be thought of as a substantial commission. In light of this, Shawn Postoff would be pleased to take direction from you in the development and composition of your personalized message*.

You are welcome to specify any combination of the Tiles, Plaques, and Walls, each of which can be linked to separate pages on the Internet.


*Terms: As in days of yore, I'm happy to take some reasonable direction from you with regard to form, theme, and subject of the composition. In return for your faith and support, I will work to the best of my abilities to create for you a work that is original, appropriate to your needs, and of a high quality. I'll be open to your suggestions, and will strive to incorporate them within a maximum of one revision. I reserve the right to declare a piece completed at any time. That being said, I promise not to be a prick about it.
