Well met and greetings!

(Please redistribute this to any interested elist!)



War of the Wings was started six years ago as a competition between the
Baronies of Sacred Stone and Windmasters' Hill, along with their respective
allies, and has grown to be one of the largest events held in the Kingdom of
Atlantia. This year's principle opponents are the Baronies of Black Diamond
and Raven's Cove versus the Baronies of Sacred Stone and Hawkwood.



There will be several A&S Competitions to help display the knowledge,
creativity and skill of members of the principle baronies and their
visitors!



*On Friday*, the War of the Wings Poetry Competition, sponsored by the
current Poeta Atlantiae, will be held.

THIS COMPETITION COUNTS TOWARDS THE A&S WAR POINT!!!!

The poems submitted should be themed around a battle between any of the
symbols of the principle baronies (a diamond, raven, phoenix or hawk).
Documentation is not required, but is preferred.

Poems must be entered by 11:00 am and picked up no later than 5:00 pm.
Judging will take place from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.



*Also on Friday*, the Flights of Fancy masked ball will take center stage!

There will be a Mask Competition with prizes for the following categories:
Most Beautiful, Most Unusual, & Best Use of Pink! Masks must at least be
hand-decorated by the entrant. The ball will take place at 9:00 pm and the
masks will be judged at the dance!



*On Saturday*, the War of the Wings Novice Competition will be held.

THE OVERALL CATEGORY OF THIS COMPETITION COUNTS TOWARDS THE A&S WAR
POINT!!!!

This is a competition for individuals who have been practicing their craft
for less than a year. This doesn't mean that the entrant needs to be a
newcomer as they could be an experienced anachronist exploring a new area!
No documentation is required for this competition, nor will documentation be
graded.

There will be a second category of this competition just for the children,
ages 12 and under.

Entries must be entered by 11:00 am and picked up no later than 5:00 pm.
Judging will take place from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.



*Also on Saturday*, the War of the Wings Scroll Blank Competition will be
held.

THIS COMPETITION COUNTS TOWARDS THE A&S WAR POINT!!!!

Both quantity and quality of the scroll blanks will count! All scroll blanks
entered are considered donated to the barony (for baronial awards) or the
kingdom.

Scroll blanks must be entered by 11:00 am. The Coronets’ Favorites (one for
each principle Barony) will be selected between Noon and 2:00 pm. Judging
will take place from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

1) Scroll blank entries would be designated for each of the 4 principle
baronies. Anyone may enter, but they must submit their entries under one of
the principles.

2) The scroll blanks would be counted. The barony with the most gets 20
extra points on the score; the runner-up gets 15; 3rd place gets 10; last
gets 5.

3) Each of the 4 principle baronages selects their favorite out of their
submissions.

4) These selected entries get judged for quality.

5) The extra points are counted in and a winner is determined.



*On Sunday*, the War of the Wings Pentathlon will be the feature of the day!
