Arts & Sciences championship

I encourage all who are interested
to consider entering. This is a good way to show off your new
projects and see how these things work. Ends up being a great way
to get ready for our Principality Alpine Scholar or even Kingdom
A&S. What do you need to do, you say? Read on!

The format for the Arts and Sciences
Championship is as follows:

• Submit two entries in separate categories. Examples: paper on
  medieval subject, costume, leatherwork, knitting, woodwork
  etc.
• Documentation is required for both entries (e-mail
  idoniasherwood AT gmail DOT com if you need help with documentation
  or examples, remember, documentation does not have to be
  long!).
• Announce intent to enter by e-mailing the current champion at
  idoniasherwood AT gmail DOT com, please do so the first week of
  February (you can also let me know earlier). Include your name and
  what you plan on entering so we have time to find judges.

A few other
notes:

If you need anything special for
your entry, (access to electricity, extra table space, outdoors
set-up, etc.) please let me know when announcing your intent. If
you have any questions, suggestions or would like to enter the
competition, please send me a note!

Documentation – If you have
never entered before, or are unsure on documentation, please let me
know. I have several helpful handouts for writing documentation
that can help. I can also provide examples of documentation to
those interested.
