[Bards] Stargate Bardic Championship

[Alden Drake]

Greetings all,
In one week's time, the Barony of Stargate will host it's Bardic Championship, and I would invite any and all who would compete for the honor of being Stargate's Titled Bard to venture to Stargate Yule.  The competition will be done in three rounds.  The first two rounds will be bard's choice, two different styles (poem, song, story, etc.).  For the third round, we ask the bards to submit three pieces to the judges for them to pick one to be performed.  Documentation will be counted for the scores, but is not required to participate in any round.  A wonderful prize basket is being provided for the winner, and there are several pass-down items as well.

It has been a pleasure to serve as Stargate's Bard for the past year, and I look forward to seeing my successor announced.

In service,
HL Alden Drake
Outgoing Bard of Stargate
