Journey Through the Nine Realms Arts & Sciences

Competitions & Display

A warrior traveling through the realms will carry his or her personal gear on the journey but will also encounter the inhabitants and environments of the realms.  There are nine categories, one for each Realm. However, entries can fit in more than one category so you must choose which realm you wish to represent in your entry! Be as creative as the categories and your interpretation of them are.  Musical instruments can be decorated with wood-burning.  Arrows can have magical charms penned on them.  Farming implements can be used as weapons.   What art or science do you do? How can you present it as something that meets the parameters of your chosen category?   Be creative …. And fill in your reasoning on your entry card.

As the event is based on a journey through the nine realms the A&S prizes will also go on a journey through the realms.

The prizes will be awarded in order or realm, starting with Nifheim and ending with Helheim.  EXCEPT … we are having a White Asgardian Party!  The winner of  Nifheim will draw one of the 8 gift cards available from various retailers.  The winner of the Muspelheim may take his or her chances with the next card or steal from the winner of any realm already awarded and so on.  If someone  has his/her card stolen he/she may steal someone else’s or draw a new one.   Cards can only be stolen three times and the game ends when all eight winners have a card.

The prizes are $25 gift cards from Tandy Leather, Dick Blick Art Supplies, Amazon, Joann’s, John Neal Booksellers, Michael’s, Jerry’s Artarama, and Lowe’s Hardware drawn randomly from a pouch.  They are being provided privately and will not be purchased with event money.
