[Ansteorra] A.S 43 (2009) Blackfox Awards

Mon Aug 24 17:25:30 PDT 2009

Forwarded from the Society Chronicler.  Pay close attention to the 
Special Edition category, about halfway down - our A&S issue from this 
spring won that category.  Vivat Master Modius and Baron Kainin and 
thank you to the Ansteorran nominees for your outstanding efforts.

Kingdom Chronicler

> Greetings,
>
>  
>
> This is one of the jobs of the Society Chronicler that I truly enjoy.  
> This year I have added the “Most Improved” category.  This award is 
> judged from seeing where the chronicler has started and with steady 
> improvement to the end of the year.  Again, the “Best Electronic 
> Layout” has been merged with “Best Layout and Design” category.  This 
> year Drachenwald and Lochac sent submission in and it was wonderful to 
> see how the newsletters differ from nation to nation and the 
> differences in style from English speaking to other languages.  I 
> would like to thank all of the Kingdom Chroniclers for all of the hard 
> work that they put into the newsletters, developing new talent, and 
> administration of the job on the whole.  It is truly a thankless job, 
> if you are doing your job well, no one thinks about it and when it 
> isn’t going well, you are known by all.
>
>  
>
> I would like to say that this year’s “Best Articles” nominees were by 
> far the best I have seen.  We had serious scholarly work as well as 
> helpful information in how to play our game.  It was by far the 
> hardest section to judge. 
>

>
> Winners will receive a Blackfox token, a certificate, and the right to 
> use “Master William Blackfox Award Winner, /category,/ AS XLIII” in 
> their newsletters with the Blackfox logo.   Commended entries will 
> receive a certificate as well.
