AND HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR ENTRY TO THE DOUBLE TIME CONTEST?


The Double Time competition is the combination Cultura and Tempore Atlantia
of course!  Featured for the Crown Tournament of their Majesties Cuan and
Signy, the delayed Cultura Atlantia is focused on the personas of Their
Illustrious Majesties – things French and Norse. The scheduled Tempore
Atlantia concerns the time from 1500 C.E. to 1600 C.E.  This marvelous
event will occur May 05- 07, 2017 in the most excellent Barony of Marinus
in Clarksville, VA.


The REAL challenge will be to combine both foci into a single entry! Go
Boldly! You can do it! But you don’t have to – it just might be fun.


I was recently asked:

Is the "double time" entry criteria something that's:
* French AND Norse AND 16th cen
* (French OR Norse) AND 16th cen
* (French AND Norse) OR (French AND 15th cen) OR (Norse AND 16th cen)
?
Also... I'm used to seeing "Norse" as a shortcut for saying "Viking era
Nordic cultures." I assume in this case, we can do later (16th cen) Nordic
cultures for the double time?


My reply was - Yes! I've made a combination possible because it actually
broadened the possibilities. A fun competition is much more inviting. I
will likely add coordinator points for originality, along with additional
prizes (I had best get on surveying our excess possessions!) The usual
rankings will still pertain. I want these to be attractive, not ho hum the
same old same old. I used Norse to allow just such a stretch.


But wait! There’s more! You do not need to be present to win! Find a friend
who is willing to take charge of your entry (drop off, sign in, pick up)
and you are good to go! I am well aware that there are many of Atlantia’s
finest artists who find it extremely difficult to travel. An idea – send a
picture along with your entry so that the populace can become familiar with
you, or finally connect your work with your person.

So that you can learn the criteria and rubric that will be used during
judging, they can be found at:  http://moas.atlantia.sca.org/judging/ .  Don’t
lose out on those documentation points! The EZ-Doc for can be found at:
http://larsdatter.com/ezdoc/  This is a quick and easy form and a good
start on getting used to documenting your marvelous work.


CALL FOR JUDGES!!  As is usual, we are in need of judges. If you have
expertise in some area, please consider to spend a bit of your day giving
feedback to all of our contestants. They, and I, will deeply appreciate it.


POPULACE!! Please take a break in the proceedings of the day and view

the wonder that is the skill of Atlantia’s artisans. There is much to learn
from them and they can inspire you as well.


In Service, as always, to Atlantia, its Arts and Sciences!
