<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Ansteorra,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kingdom Arts and Sciences is just 4 short weeks
away. The deadline for scholarly papers is January 23, to Mistress Gwyneth
Blackrose. (You can find her contact information in the Black Star under
Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences.) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This year we are asking artisans to send a letter
of intent, to include name of the artisan and what kind of piece is being
entered. If you don't send a letter of intent, you can still enter, but a
letter will better enable us to have judges for wide variety of pieces that
sometimes are entered. It just helps out the Laurels judging, and if it
helps them, it helps you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If there are any needs other than your allotted
half of a table for static or a space to perform for performing arts, please
contact me at <A href="mailto:cternus@texas.net">cternus@texas.net</A> .
For instance, if you need to be near an electrical outlet or need a larger
portion of table, please let me know ahead of time. Otherwise, special
accommodations might not be do-able.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kingdom Arts and Sciences is being held by the
Shire of Rosenfeld. Information can be obtained at the following
websites. For site information, <A

For Competition rules information and judging sheets, go to <A
href="http://moas.ansteorra.org/">http://moas.ansteorra.org/</A> then go to
the appropriate link at the sidebar. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some free hints from Radegund for static
entries: Set up your display at home, so you can get it to what
it will look like at the Competition. It also helps speed up your set
up time the morning of the competition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For all entries, go through the judging sheets with
your piece on your own or by an objective onlooker. You can get an idea of
where your documentation or piece might be lacking while there's still time to
make adjustments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking forward to seeing the static and
performance art entries. And send in those papers.</FONT></DIV>
