[MR] It's a Norse Scroll Blank competition at Ymir!

[Beverly Robinson-Curry]

The Triton Principal Herald will be sponsoring a Norse scroll blank
competition at Ymir!  Just like last year, the lovely Lady Livia Zanna
has offered to coordinate and judge said competition.
 
Per Livia's rules, Norse in this instance means from the areas of
Ancient Scandinavia, which encompassed Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the
Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland.  While most sources say the word
"Norse" refers primarily to a period anywhere from 1700BC to 1066AD, we
have opened up the competition to the full SCA period, because there
are some fantastic fifteenth and sixteenth century illuminations from
those areas, that could provide more inspiration, since early period
manuscripts from those areas are few and far between.  Therefore, the
date range is from way back then to our usual cut-off of 1600.

Each item entered will be judged individually, but the entrant's total
score will be the cumulative total of each of their items.   The
emphasis on this competition is quality over quantity.   Also a
reminder, please remember that for an scroll to be valid and useable
for court, it must meet Atlantian conventions as regards the colors
used for the award badge, and space left for heraldry on awards that
convey Awards/Grants of arms.  All entries will become the property of
the Crown after the competition.

Any further questions, please contact Lady Livia directly at

Looking forward to a longboat's worth of entries!

Rhiannon, Triton
