[MR] Open Research Paper Competition - KASF

[Becky McEllistrem]

Please feel free to forward to appropriate groups
=======================

I am sponsoring a series of research paper
competitions in conjunction with Tempore Atlantia.
This is a virtual competition with the winners to be
announced at the event.

The first event to have this competition will be
Kingdom Arts and Sciences Festival.  This is an open
competition including any subject relevant to Tempore
Atlantia time periods.

Papers should be a minimum of three pages and are due
1 MONTH before the event.  Rough drafts are allowed
and encouraged.  Rough drafts should be turned in 2
MONTHS before the event.  Papers brought to the event
will not be included.  If you're having trouble
brainstorming ideas for papers or resources, Sir
Andras, OL will be available to help you.  For best
results, ask him for advice 3 or more months before
the event.

Contact info for Sir Andras is: 
davewendelken at earthlink.net

If papers are written for other competitions they may
also be included in this competition, however this
should be noted.  This competition is not intended for
legacy papers.  Papers completed up to 1 YEAR before
the due date are accepted.

Laurels are allowed to compete but there will be
prizes for laurels and non-laurels in all categories.

Categories include:

best overall
best improved (only for those that turned in rough
drafts)
judge's preference

Judges already committed to this competition include

Sir Andras, OL
Duke Badouin Mackenzie, OL
Mistress Caitlin Cheannlaidir
Mistress Deirdre O'Siodhachain
Mistress Fuiltigherne ni Ruadh O'Finn
Mistress Jessamyne di Piemonte

Winners will receive a loaf of soap in the scent of
their choice among other things.  All writers should
note if their papers may be published to a web site
and possibly the Oak.

Papers should be turned in to me, not the judges.  Any
questions?  Please write me at:
