[Ansteorra] Artisan and Bardic competitions for the Elfsea Baronial College, December 11

[Hanna Von dahl]

Gentles all:

We need more entrants for both the Elfsea Artisan and Elfsea Bard contests to be 
held at the Elfsea Baronial College, December 11, to be at First Jefferson 
Unitarian Universalist Church, 1959 Sandy Lane, Fort Worth 
(http://www.elfsea.net/BaronialCollege/Index.htm).  If interested in either, 
please let us know beforehand if possible.

Elfsea Artisan:
This is a limited Body of Work display. Artisans are to bring up to five pieces, 
completed within the last five years. The display items may be of different 
media types or all of related media types. No Kingdom judging sheets are used, 
but documentation is required. 


The entries are judged by the Past Elfsea Artisans in attendance at the event 
along with the current Baron and Baroness.

The site allows alcohol, so Brewers are allowed to enter their works. Tasting is 
limited to Judges and people over the age of 21. 


Artisans who wish to compete are highly encouraged to pre-register, but are not 
required to pre-register. Tables are the standard 3 x 6 foot plastic tables. 
Pre-register with the Current Elfsea Artisan, Mistress Hanna von Dahl, let her 
know if you will need a full or a half table. 


Elfsea Bard:
The competition will consist of two pieces. One piece needs to be a period 
piece, pre-1650. A song, story, or poem from before 1650, with documented modern 
translations or renditions of old ballads or tales will be allowed. The other 
piece is the bardic competitor's choice. 


The entries are judged by the current Elfsea Bard, a panel of other bards, and 
by the current Baron and Baroness. 


For more information and guidelines, contact the Current Elfsea Bard, Lord 
Daniel de Tankard.
