[Ansteorra-announce] Lughnasad's A&S Competition

[Kathy Varner]

Artisans new and long established,
Summer is well underway and it’s time to begin wrapping up your entry for 
the Novice/New Skill Competition for Lughnasad hosted by the Shire of Loch 
Ruadh..

As a reminder
This year’s format will focus on newly acquired skills and crafts.

Rules:
1.Entries must be the fruits of skills or crafts newly learned since the 
turning of the year (Jan.2004 through Aug. 2004)
2.The skill or craft should be sufficiently different from your field of 
expertise or experience for you to be considered a novice. Please no entries 
where-in you embroider with silk rather that cotton etc…
3.Divisions will be limited to Adult’s and Children’s categories with no 
degrees of skill, as all will be novice in their new craft.
4.For this competition the definition of novice has naught to do with the 
number of times a particular piece has or has not been entered into 
competition. By this definition novice simply means that the skill has been 
acquired since the beginning of the year. Not that you have become 
proficient since the beginning of the year, but that you have begun learning 
the skill within this time-frame.
5.Documentation is not required, however a short essay outlining how and why 
you chose this new skill, any difficulties encountered, and your intent to 
pursue or abandon the skill would lend support to the entry.
6.As the unofficial theme for the upcoming Lughnasad is “Pirates”, entries 
with a piratical influence will be given special consideration by the 
Co-Crat Laird Caerell.
7.The number of entries per person is not limited, but all should follow the 
guidelines as listed.


In Service,
Catrin ferch Rhys
