[Sca-cooks] Cooking contest

[Sue Clemenger]

There's also a purely informal, old "award" dating back to our days as a
principality, which was called the "Wooden Spoon."  (award, not
principality)  They were given out for a while by the prince and/or princess
as a sort of ataboy for really good feasts.  I have two.
In Artemisia, our kingdom-wide competitions are all still largely predicated
on the format in place when we were still part of Atenveldt.  We don't have
principalities at this time, so those aren't applicable.  Local competitions
and special competitions vary more widely.
