[Steppes] Steppes artisan and calender

Lady Stephanie,

The reason that we have Artisan when we do is because June and July are the recovery months from Steppes Warlord. Trying to put on another major event within 60 days of our biggest event of the year would be unwise. You make a valid point, however, that it is difficult to take the constructive criticism from Artisan and produce anything for LPT. But there is a significant difference between the two events. LPT is not "judged" or a competition. It is a display event for comments from the Laurels who may or may not have ever seen your work. Therefore displaying there, you will get additional input to assist you in bettering your art, not competition scores. The reason it is called Laurel's Prize Tourney is that several Laurels sponsor special awards in their fields -- not all of them, just a few.

It also tends to be a single-entry event, although some of us have been known to expand on that a bit.

Go to both, then take the accumulated comments from the two events to produce something for Kingdom A&S in January/February for competition.

Hope that helps!

I do not know how far in advance Steppes Artisan is scheduled on the Kingdom 
calendar, so I will bring this up now.  This year, Artisan was only three weeks 
before Laurel's Prize Tourney.  Now, I know that some people who go to Artisan 
do not go to LPT, and vice versa, but by and large, the same people display and 
the many of the same people judge these two events.  Because there is only three 
weeks between them this year, I as an artisan do not have time to take the 
feedback I received from the judges and create anything new to reflect that 
feedback before LPT.  It would really help to have Steppes Artisan in June, or 
at least July, so that artisans can produce new works reflecting the feedback 
they receive there before LPT.  Thank you.
