In pursuit of continuing to enrich the land through stories and song, Terra Pomaria’s Bardic Champion seeks a successor.

Challengers should prepare three entries that fall into the following categories:

• Inspiration: This could include inspiring music, a story of an inspiring deed, a song about inspirational virtues, etc.
• Community: Friendship, welcoming, diversity equity, inclusion, unity, etc.
• Original Work: This can be an original take on an old story, a filk (new lyrics to an old song), or a completely new composition all together.

Contestants will be judged based on the following criteria: skill, presentation, relevance to period and society pursuits, and adherence to categories. Please enter even if your entries do not adhere strictly to these categories!
