Bon Soir Bryn Gwlad, Hellsgate, & Friends!

 

For those of you who may not have heard,  For Bryn Gwlad’s Candlemas Event
in February, I (your chronicler Lady Renée) 

will be sponsoring a Newsletter Cover Art Competition to show-case some of
the artistic talent in the Barony and surrounding

areas and to acquire art to use on the cover of the newsletter.   

 

 

The competition is called “Rock, Parchment, Halberd.”

 

 

Halberd – Is the name of the Bryn Gwlad Baronial Newsletter, and is a
prominent charge 

                    in the Bryn Gwlad Baronial device. (Blazon is:  Argent,
on a bend sinister between

    two compass stars of ten points each environed of a laurel wreath sable
a halberd Or.)

 

Parchment – That surface that pre-dates paper for as a ground for artistic
works.  

 

Rock – Please bring beads made from natural stone or glass, to cast your
popular vote.

                (Some will be provided but quantities may be limited.)

 

Winning placements will be:  

 

1.	First - Their Excellencies’ Choice – to be chosen by their
Excellencies of Bryn Gwlad.
2.	Second - Chronicler’s Choice – to be chosen by the Chronicler of
Bryn Gwlad.
3.	Third - Populace Choice – the one that has the most votes as
determined by amount 

        of largess (beads or small tokens) from the populace.
