A&S Championship Rules:
Artisans, crafters, brewers, artists, and all, the call of competition has been made! The Østgarðr Arts & Sciences Championship is back! A new champion will rise from the ranks of our populace, will it be you?
This year, the Østgarðr Arts & Sciences Championship will be held at the Lion’s End Schola, May 20th! There will be four awards up for grabs:
- Østgarðr A&S Champion (only Østgarðr residents can win this award and title, judging for this award will be done by the Østgarðr Vicereines)
- Best Overall A&S entry (Anyone who enters can win, judging by this will be done by the Østgarðr Vicereines and the current champion)
- People’s Choice (as chosen by the populace).
- Best Research. (judging by this will be done by the the Østgarðr Vicereines and the current champion)
Research is not a requirement to compete. You may display your work for all to see. Your display could be Photos of your work, or the work itself. If your display is something edible, you may share it with the populace. You may also just show off your research and compete for the best research award!
We are also encouraging group projects. If you are not sure you want to compete in an A&S contest alone, we welcome you to enter with a mentor, friend, or partner. We want this to be a beginner friendly competition.
If you wish to display your A&S project but not compete, that will be acceptable. A signup sheet will be provided, and we will clearly mark entries that are for competition and/or display-only projects.
Come one and all to the Østgarðr Arts and Science Championship and show off what you have made!
NOTE: ALCOHOL WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE PREMISE. If you are a brewer and wish to compete, you may display photos of your work and your research or work with myself and the Vicereines to sample your project before the event.
If you have questions or wish to help, please reach out to me at 212278@members.eastkingdom.org.
The A&S Champion’s responsibilities include:
- Attend the majority of Østgarðr events and participate in any Provincial Court held at those events.
- Attend the Viceregals at out-of-area events, including Pennsic, if possible (Pennsic responsibilities are primarily Opening Ceremonies and Østgarðr Court at the Tuesday night potluck).
- Wear and maintain the regalia of your position.
- Organize next year’s Provincial Champion competition to choose your successor.
Competitors should indicate on the sign-up sheet if they are prepared to serve as the Provincial Arts and Sciences Champion, if selected by their Excellencies, and have no duties or obligations which would prevent them from serving appropriately. The Champion will be determined by a Panel Of Judges including the Viceregents and current Champion.
There will also be a Populace vote. As the judges do not know everything, please be on hand to present and answer questions on your entry.
For those sending research papers, please send them in no later than one week before the Competition, to allow the judges time to give them proper attention.
Food and drink entries are permitted – NO ALCOHOL.
