What is the Persona Pentathlon and the Persona Triathlon?

*Persona Pentathlon* is a competition where each entrant submits five items
that a single persona would have owned or used. Your entry does NOT have to
be YOUR persona. But the five items need to be for one persona. There are
seven categories and 3 of your five items must be from 3 different
categories. The categories include suggested entries, but are not limited
to such.

*Persona Triathlon* is for youth (17 and under) entrants who must have
three different items that relate to a single persona.
