There are two ways to accumulate points for your chosen Barony, as an Artist
or as a Patron.

Artisans: Enter a finished item (within the last 3 years) for a designated
category. Documentation Required. You may enter up to three different
categories, with one entry in each. Artisans are requested to stay with
their entries to meet with Patrons from 1:00-3:00 on Saturday.

Patrons: members of Arts Orders (Baronial, Kingdom or Society) meet with the
artisans, offer support and encourage them in their work and suggest
additional references and resources for the execution and/or research in
their fields. Patrons must wear Regalia for each order of which they are
members, bring at least 20 tokens and at least 20 comment cards. (Each
Patron can earn up to 3 points, if they belong to up to 3 arts orders.)
Patrons may also participate as Artisans.

All Artisans and Patrons must register before the meetings. Our goal is to
provide an opportunity for artisans to talk, learn and be inspired by one
another.

Determination of War Point: Most accumulated points by Artisans and Patrons.

II. Youth A&S

Youth are invited to enter one item in an Open Display. They will receive
written comments, and a token to thank them for their participation.
Documentation is required.

Ages 0-9: one or two sentences; Ages 10-14:, 3-5 sentences; Ages 15-17: 1-2
paragraphs.

Documentation should address the following questions:

   1. What is this?
   2. In Period (1000-1600), who would have made this? (what country, what
kind trade or skill, etc.)
   3. Do you have a picture of one? or a description from the Middle Ages?
   4. What is this made of/how did you make it?

Determination of War Point: Highest number of participating youth.

III. Period Encampment Competition

Score 1-6 points for the following.

   1. Cover - Criteria to consider would be fiber content, engineering
design, colors, decorations (if any)
   2. Furniture - Criteria include design, materials, construction
techniques and methods, style and period.
   3. Accessories - Again, design, materials, construction methods,
period(s) represented would all be considered.
   4. Food - Content, recipes, presentation can all be considered.
   5. Recreational Activities - Games, work projects, music, story telling,
leisure or vocational activities all reveal social or economic class and
time period of participants.
   6. Written description of the above - Help out the judges and tell them
why they should award maximum points to the owners/creators of this
particular encampment.
   7. Period primary references - If you provide period references:
articles, paintings, photographs of relics or academic recreations, the
judges will be at your mercy.
   8. Use of Wings and/or War theme.

Determination of War Point: Barony with most total judging points.

IV. Heraldic Pageantry - Deputy: Herrin Gisela vom Kreuzbach
(Gisela.vomKreuzbach AT gmail DOT com)

War Point to be determined by impressing the Special Judges. Groups will
process onto the field by order of precedence and declare to whom their
allegiance and support is given for that War! Individuals may also
participate.

The requirements are simple:

1) Any group or individual taking part in the heraldic procession of
declaration must present a unified appearance through the use of heraldry
and livery colours and observe all period courtesy and deference.

2) Must have a herald in a tabard or baldric or carrying an appropriate
device of heraldic office

3) Attempt to portray period processional celebrations and styles through
the use of Banners, Pennons, Ganfallons and all manner of heraldic display,
pageant floats, pageant displays and so on.

4) May make use of musicians, dancers, gymnasts, flower girls, military
regiments, coursing hounds, horses and any other thing, animate or not, to
create the most memorable Declaration of Allegiance

Time is tight as attendance is high. You will not have time to make long
flowery speeches. This is about Visual Impact. Make it count!

If you have any questions about this Processional, or if you'd like to
participate as a herald, please contact me at Gisela.vomKreuzbach AT gmail

V. Scroll Blanks Challenge - Deputy: Lady Gwerfyl verch Aneirin, CP (Known
as Aneira) (hulan at verizon.net)

To support Their Royal Majesties in their goal of having a personalized
scroll to present to every gentle that they recognize in Court, we are
adding a Scroll Blank Challenge this year. Scribal Artists are encouraged to
enter Illuminated Scroll Blanks, with or without calligraphy, all should be
suitable for passing on to TRMs, and will be passed on. The Barony with the
most accumulated points wins this War point based on 1 point for
Illumination, 1 point for Calligraphy, 1 point for documentation. Artisans
may enter multiple scrolls. All scrolls from this activity will be given to
Their Majesties at the end of the day.

Determination of War Point: highest accumulated points.
