A&S
Contest
A fun and whimsical contest is to be held. The theme is
“What rhymes with June, in any medium“, and
it is sponsored by Lionsdale’s own A&S Champion, Dr.
Carus. We know that our Principality and Kingdom are
filled with many creative artisans, and we hope to see many
entries, be it lagoons, baboons, or spittoons (though the
latter is apparently post-period!)
Here are the details:
Two categories:
Novice (Having entered an A&S contest less than three
times)
Non-novice
Should there be less than two entrants in either category,
categories may be merged at judges’ discretion.
Judging format: total of 40 points to be allocated for
craftsmanship, documentation, historical authenticity, and
creativity.
Craftsmanship = 10 points. Includes functionality, degree of
difficulty and of detail.
Authenticity = 10 points. Includes authenticity of materials,
of tools, of method, and of purpose.
Documentation = 10 points. One to two pages, or as needed to
show the above.
Elegance = 10 points. Includes creativity, originality, fit
to theme, and display.
Any questions can be directed to the autocrat at kimberly
underscore m at shaw dot ca (or by clicking the link at the
top of this page)
Bardic
Challenge
***Please note that
this is an at-event competition and is NOT the Shire Bardic
Championship, which is now held at Winter Tourney.***
Entrants will be asked to prepare two selections, one of
which must be period (documentation is encouraged but not
required).
The bardic competition will consist of two parts: a
scheduled, judged component at which entrants are to perform
their period piece, and an accolade component.
The judged component will be on the event schedule. Entrants
will perform their period piece in front of an audience which
will include several secret judges. Marks will be given for
technical skill, the complexity of the piece, audience
engagement and performing in persona. This component will be
worth 70% of the overall adjudication.
The accolade component will require entrants to approach
encampments and groups of gentles throughout the event and
offer to entertain them. Bards must have at least one
selection aside from their judged period piece to perform for
this component, though they may also use this as an
opportunity to practice performing their period selection.
Each attendee of the event will be given a voting token at
gate when they sign in. Over the course of the event most
attendees will, hopefully, get the chance to hear at least a
couple of bards perform. They can take their token back to
gate up until the scheduled cut-off time prior to the judged
component to vote for the bard whose performance they most
enjoyed. This component will be worth 30% of the overall
adjudication. Original work with period themes and/or in
period style is strongly encouraged.
Those looking for a bard-friendly encampment should speak to
the Bardic Champion, Wulfstan Hrafnson, at the event, as he
will be sounding a few people out beforehand. The Bardic
Champion’s encampment may always be considered bard-friendly,
barring timing issues (they have small children). Please feel
free to ask.
To enquire further, please email Lord Wulfstan at
wulfstan.ravnsson@gmail.com.
Rapier
Tournament
**Please note, the actual Shire Rapier
Champions Tournament was already held at Winter
Tourney**
The tournament will be a round robin, with the top 8 in wins
advancing. Next we will have #1 vs 8, 2 vs 7,
etc. This round will be a single elimination.
Next round will be 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3, again single
elimination. The final round will be one fight to
determine the winner. All double kills are fatal,
except in the final round.
