http://www.sandyoaks.com/index.html is kindly hosting a Kingdom wide A&S competition for research papers and static displays that have to do with Olives or Olive oil in period. There will be 3 prizes, an open day to showcase all entries on Feb 26th, plus a radio presenter will be there as well as possible TV coverage. 
You do not have to be present to win, but if your's is a static display it must be present to be judged. Research paper deadline is Feb. 12th. 2011.

So did your art or craft use olive oil? Soaps, cooking, perfume, clay lamps, cosmetics, woodworking, medicine, history of growing, harvesting, etc all immediately come to mind. Be creative. 

Please consider entering as this is a great opportunity to showcase our talent to a wider audience, and for us all to learn more about an item that was integral to many aspects of period life.
