We also received a number of nominations for occupations outside the US — St. Paul’s UK, Vancouver BC, Melbourne, Glasgow, Frankfurt and Kingston among them. Because of the limitations on shipping the tents and computers out of the country they aren’t eligible for the prizes, so we’re looking into other opportunities to reward outstanding activism by occupations outside the US.
For more information on the contest, see yesterday’s post.
Nominate your occupation for a chance to win a command-post tent or laptop with webcam!
DEADLINE: Monday, 1/30/2012

Words fail me. I’m grinning from ear to ear right now.
I did not nominate occupy Homer. I would rather wait till we have OCCUPY ALASKA. Who ever did is cool in my view. I do dream that Alaska can communicate as one.We are as big as a country and as small as a little city. Slow as yet but i think we will get there.
Who’s on first?
Wow. News of the death of the occupy movement has been greatly exaggerated.
WHOOOP!
Power to the People!
Jane,
Since Dan will be traveling to the sites I assume his trial went well. Can we get an update?
Sebastopol and Petaluma! Sooo glad they got nominated.
+1, that list is crazy!
i’m stunned that there are already 148 occupations nominated. wow!
It’s ongoing. Dan asked for more time.
Thanks!
President Obama wants the American people to believe that none of this exists. Kinda like ignoring the elephant in the room.
Homer was not submitted as a goof. There really is one.
Can anybody point me to a source of data on the exact street locations of all the OccupyX’s? I’m building a website that will, by default, identify local OccupyX’s when you’re geolocated (within the website) in their ‘neighborhood’.
Is that Portland, Oregon or Portland, Maine that was nominated?
Occupy Trenton: directly across the street from the NJ State House. There is another war memorial theater, but it’s around the corner and down Willow St a couple of blocks. I would mark it fronting State St and mid way between Taylor and Willow. The space between State and Capitol is narrow and everything along that stretch appears to be one building deep. You can park on Capitol behind the Memorial and walk two flights of steps down into it.
See two comments below yours.
Thanks, but I was hoping for something like an Excel spreadsheet (or website with data in table form). I.e., either somebody’s collected this data (in the recent past), and is willing to share it, or they aren’t.
If I can’t find a centralized location database, the next best thing to hope for is a contact database. The contacts should know where their own occupations, are. I see occupytogether has gathered a list of websites and twitter handles for each Occupy. If I can’t get specific enough info from the webpage, I guess I’ll be reduced to twitter requests.
I can only locate the one I know.
:-) Well, that’s a start. How many people are in the Trenton occupation?
Good question. My estimate is maybe a dozen in all, some irregulars. On site regularly, somewhere between four and six. I’m going to the GA tomorrow. The several times I’ve attended, there were about 10. We’ll live, we’ll see. The core are hanging in and I’m hanging as long as they do. I live 50 miles away so I’m not in the middle of the mix.
Thanks.
50 miles – quite a haul!
