Æthelmearc Arts & Sciences Championship<br />
As it is Maynard and Liadain’s wish to showcase the artisans of Æthelmearc to all the Known World, the<br />
theme will be Largess. Entrants are asked to provide at least one item of largess crafted by themselves, in<br />
any suitable media of their choice, to be donated at the event for the Crown to give out as gifts during Their<br />
Reign. Multiple items of largess are allowed and encouraged. Candidates should provide a business-card(s)<br />
or equivalent written note(s) with their name (and contact info if desired), to be given to the eventual recipient<br />
along with the largess, for due acknowledgment of their skill and generosity. Entrants are also encouraged<br />
to present a portfolio (photo or written summaries) of their body of creative works. This way, artisans may<br />
display their greater works while submitting a smaller portion for the competition (ie. a piece of garb may<br />
be displayed while the hand crafted buttons are<br />
entered). Basic documentation is requested (typewritten<br />
preferred, no more than two pages please).<br />
All are encouraged to participate in this event from<br />
novice to master, young to old. In addition to the<br />
selection of the Champion, there will be additional<br />
prizes awarded (ie. Best Youth Entry, Populace<br />
Choice, Laurel’s Choice). Questions should be<br />
directed to the current A&S Champion, Ld. Pearce<br />
Redsmythe, wiliam@rencraft.com, 607-330-2598<br />
weekday evenings from 5 till 11 PM, and weekends<br />
from 9 AM till 11 PM.<br />
The “Leonardo” A&S Competition - Open to All Artisans<br />
Become the Leonardo da Vinci of your time! We call all gentles to display their imaginations, in the same<br />
manner as that of the Original Renaissance Man! Imagine how Leonardo might “invent” a modern-day<br />
device or custom, from a medieval point-of view. From the serious (reproductions of da Vinci’s drawings or<br />
paintings) to the sublime (remember DaVinci’s tank? All Media welcome. For extra credit, write backwards<br />
(DaVinci’s “secret code”) and provide a translation. Ingenuity and cleverness count for a lot. It can be as silly<br />
as something from “The Flintstones” or an alternate theory of his greatness (Mona Lisa had rotten teeth, so<br />
she could not smile). Bring your entries, plus any documentation you may have, and any explanation your<br />
piece may need, to the A&S Competition Table, between 10-12. Use your imagination, your cunning, and<br />
your sense of humor! For questions, contact Brandric Slaywrock at brandric1@netscape.com or call 716-<br />
832-5094 before 9pm. This competition is open to all age groups, all levels of artistry! Entries may be crossentered<br />
in both competitions!<br />
