A&S Competitions at Kingdom 12th Night

 

As you may have noticed there were many Arts and Sciences activities at Kingdom 12th Night this year.  First, I would like to thank each and every artisan who displayed their work on the four (and ½) tables that were in the back of the ball room.  All the work on display was quite lovely, some of it very complex, and all of it worth taking the time to look at.

 

Scribal Competition:

 

The winner of the writing box/desk was Lady Livia Zanna for her calligraphy on Dunstan's Laurel scroll.

Lord Dominic Elphenstone was the runner up.  (And I still have your prize!  Contact me at jremes at carolina.rr.com to see about how I can get it to you.)

 

 

Mask Making Competition:

 

Thanks to all the lovely entries in this competition.  Many of them were more exquisite when worn than when displayed, as I noticed during the ball itself.  The winner was Honorable Lady Arielle of Beinn Dhubh for a mask titled "Mother Nature" that was reminiscent of Giuseppe Arcimboldo's  Vertumnus painting.  The runner up was Mistress Isobel of Beddingfield for her beautiful and documented Halian Carnival Masks.

 

 

Poeta Atlantia was won by James of Middle Aston.

 

 

Tempore Atlantia

 

Best Display: Baroness Janina Krakowska (pouch embroidered in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry)

Best Entry by an SCA Merchant and Best in Show: Mistress Aenor d'Anjou with the embroidered Laurel scroll in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry.

 

 

Royal Bardic Competition

 

The two finalists were both so good that the King could not decide between them.  So Baronesa  Gracia Esperanza de Sevilla was made King's Bard, and Lady Elishabeth D'Avignon was made Queen's Bard.
