Tir Righ A&S and Bardic
Championships
Come witness history made as the next Scholar and Skald of Tir Righ
are chosen.
-OR- if you’ve got a mind to stand a champion of your Principality,
come and contend for the honour of being Tir Righ’s new Champion of
the Arts & Sciences or the Bardic Arts. Either way, come and
cheer on those who put their knowledge and skill to the test.
Parameters for the A&S Competition can be found here:
http://as.tirrigh.org/championship/
Parameters for the Bardic
competition are as follows: 2 (two) pieces
presented before a public audience.  Both pieces must be from
different genres and/or periods/regions.  For example, a Norse
song and a Norse story would be acceptable, as would a Norse song
and a 14th Century German song.  Both pieces must have some
documentation. *Bonus points will be awarded for audience
appreciation.*

BUT WAIT… THERE’S
MORE…
There will also be a plethora of University of Tir Righ
(UTR) A&S/Bardic classes offered as well. A class list
will be posted (hopefully) closer to the date as the classes are
finalised.

AND THEN…
That very evening, stay to celebrate the new Scholar and Skald with
a fabulous, not-to-be-missed feast created by HL Kensae (Kenzie)
McBeighn (and if previous Kenzie feasts are any indication, this is
NOT to be missed!!!). **See Feast Menu (subject to change still) at
the bottom for feast and ticket
