[Scriptoris] Inter-Kindom Charter Design Competition with Gleann Abhann!

[Star Signet]

Greetings from the Ansteorran Star Signet; HL Lillias MacGuffin, and the
Gleann Abhann Topaz Herald; Baron Alrekr inn svarti.


It is our pleasure to announce that both Kingdoms will be working together
to hold a special competition this year at Bordermarchs Autumn Melees.  We
are looking for  pre-print designs for both Kingdoms.  The specific
pre-prints needed are listed below.


The Gleann Abhann winner will be chosen by Their Majesties Gleann Abhann,
or Their representative(s), and the Ansteorran winner will be chosen by
Their Majesties Ansteorra, or Their representative[s]. A prize will be
given to the winner for each kingdom.


All entries are to be donated to perspective kingdom.  You do not have to
be from the kingdom in which you enter your project to win their prize, so
if you're really good you can walk away with both prizes.



Pre-prints needed:

* For Ansteorra:*



*The Compass Rose* - an AoA level award for service that involves working
with the children.
*The Rising Star* - a non-armigerous award 'for' children who are active
and helpful within the SCA.
*Sable Crane* -  an armigerous award given for special endeavors of service
to the realm.
*Sable Talon* -  an armigerous award given for ability in a specific
martial area.



*For Gleann Abhann:*

*Her Majesties Jeweled Ring* - a non-armigerous award, The Order of the
Jeweled Ring shall consist of those individuals or groups who have offered
great service to Her Royal Majesty,

*The Sovereigns Letter of Endorsement* - anon-armigerous award, The
Sovereigns Letter of Endorsement shall be given to of those individuals or
groups who have offered great service to His Royal Majesty



*Both to be 14th century French reign specific.*

*2*. All charters/pre-prints should be the black-and-white inked copy, not
a finished painted product.  The design (calligraphy and illumination) is
what will be judged, not the paint job.  It is recommended that 2 copies of
each pre-print should be submitted, one of which should be submitted in an
envelope or some type of protective covering. This copy will be used as a
pre-print master and therefore needs to remain untouched. The other copy
will be on display for the purpose of judging,

*3*. Submissions should have basic information included with the submission
(which period illumination inspired the design, the time period and country
it was from, and the common color palette of the period material in
question). This is information we both often put at the bottom of our
pre-printed charters in the basic instructions for painting.



*4*.  All entries to be turned in to Mistress Hillary Greenslade by 12
p.m. on Saturday.  The contest will be held in the Big Fun Tent (BFT) near
the merchants and taverns area. Winners will be announced at Great Court.
