Conventions for An Tir Bardic Championships 2023
Entrants will be presenting three pieces before the Crown and the assembled populace.
– Two pieces should be documentable as period.
– The third piece can be anything that is SCA appropriate, including original pieces.
– Each Presentation will be given 10 minutes or less.
DOCUMENTATION
Documentation is required for the two period pieces.
– Documentation should be a maximum of 500 words, with additional pictures, text & translations (if applicable), other supporting documents, & bibliography/citations (including websites, books, articles, CDs/DVDs, etc.) afterwards as needed.
– Entrants are allowed to have others help with documentation (proofreading, formatting, typing etc.).
– Entrants do not need to document the third piece, unless they wish to, or wish to provide lyrics/music in the case of original pieces.
– Documentation is due by 11:59 PM, November 1st. Please send to gro.ritna@icsnstra
– Please send it as a PDF file if possible. This just avoids formatting errors when opened on a different computer.
– Documentation will be posted on the An Tir A&S Website for anyone who wishes to read it before the event (If an entrant does not wish to have their original piece posted, they should contact the Kingdom A&S Minister).
– Entrants are to bring 4-5 copies of each document for display at the event. KMoAS will be putting together a packet for TRMs and other advisors, displaying one on the table for the populace.
COMPETITION
There will be two rounds of competition:
– Saturday Morning, the performers will be presenting their 1st and 2nd performance pieces. At the end of these performances, the populace will have an opportunity to vote on their favorite performers. The top performers will be presented to Their Royal Majesties and Their council to choose the finalists.
– The final round will be held at the close of all Collegium Classes, tentatively scheduled Saturday at 6:00pm. The finalists will perform their third piece.
– After this round the winner will be chosen by The Crown, the Current Bardic Champion, and the Kingdom A&S Minister, and with consideration of the populace vote. Court will be held Saturday evening to announce the winner and install them in TRMs court.
AFTER THE FIRST ROUND
Those that are not chosen to be finalists will have an opportunity to perform at the event. A Bardic space will be provided. Our hope is that the first rounds will end in time for lunch. This will leave the bardic space open for classes all afternoon.
