>The Poeta Atlantiae is sponsoring a poetry competition at Coronation in connection with Tempore Atlantia.  The time frame is 1492-1600.  Your poem must be written in a medieval style that was popular from 1492-1600.  In addition, it should cover an historic event in Russia during the period 1492-1600.  Russian history during this time period is peppered with poetic fodder.  Events include the reign of Ivan the Terrible (the first Russian Tsar), the Russo-Turkish War, the Crimean Campaign, the conquest of Siberia, Polish-Lithuanian raids, and the sea-trading blockade carried out by the Swedes, Poles and the Hanseatic League.  Ivan himself wrote poetry, was a composer of considerable talent, and supported the arts. His Orthodox liturgical hymn, "Stichiron No. 1 in Honor of St. Peter" and fragments of his letters were put into music in modern times.  Sadly, Ivan accidentally killed his son during an argument.

>Documentation is required.  Please indicate the time frame for the style of medieval poetry you used and provide a brief introduction to the story your poem conveys.  Other judging criteria and a short form documentation form are provided on the Poeta Website at http://poeta.atlantia.sca.org/fnc.htm   Of course, we will be delighted to accept your poem even with minimal documentation.
> 
>There will be a separate judging category for children aged 12 and younger.  Judging requirements will be relaxed for children.
