Master Alden,

Please post this to the Steppes email list? Also, I've added you to the newly launched Steppes 12th Night Facebook group. If you could post this information there, too, I would be grateful. We're excited to host, and want to get others excited, too!

Thank you!
Emma Haldane

Come one and all to Eisteddfod!!! 

Watch as the best bards from across the kingdom face off against each other and....the Wheel of Doom!  Who will emerge victorious and be named the 32nd Premier Bard of Ansteorra?  Join us at Steppes Twelfth Night, on January 3, 2015, to enjoy some of the best bardic Ansteorra has to offer and find out!  

The competition will be a bard vs bard, double elimination format, with each round having a theme determined by the Wheel of Doom. The themes on the wheel will be: Ansteorra, Period/Period Style (documented), War, Love, Death, Drinking, Chivalry, Sing-Along, Open (Bard's Best), Crown's Choice.  Bye rounds shall be destructive, and shall be performed against a former Premier Bard.  In addition to the regular panel of judges, 9 random audience members will be chosen, who will cast a collective "populace vote".  There are no style (song, poetry, story, instrumental) requirements, and documentation is only required for one piece (the period/period style piece).  Any questions should be directed to the outgoing Premier Bard, Master Alden Drake at alden_drake at sbcglobal.net.

In service,
Master Alden Drake
Premier Bard
