<DIV>With this change of clime we have added a new Title to stand side by side with our historic Titled Bards. One and all are invited to compete with your finest entries to become </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Loch Ruadh's Premier Titled Artisan!</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>This year's theme will be pieces which honor our ancestors. Bring your body of work or single finest piece which embodies this concept. Documentation, while not required, is appreciated and an explanation of how the work honors our ancestors will greatly enhance your exhibit.</DIV>
