Blank Borders Scribal Competition at Lilies

Posted by

Hello Scribes!

Always wanted to help out the Kingdom by painting a GoA, but didn’t want to deal with a tight deadline? Well this is the competition for you!
Create a blank border for an award scroll in which text can be inserted later. Here are the parameters:
  • Must leave a space for text no smaller than 7”x10” in and at least 1/4″ in edge margins.
  • Must include a space/circle for the award (if you would like it to go for a specific award, which might help you tailor your illuminations, you may paint it in).
  • (Optional) A space for the device of the person receiving the award, so it can be personalized.
At the end of the competition all entries will be given to the Crown as largess, so make sure to take pictures/scan your Blank Borders before you go to war! These borders help TRM out by being on hand when they want to award a Grant on short notice, which also keeps the pressure off the scribes.
Judging will be based upon Kingdom Criteria for illumination (to be found on the A&S website), and basic documentation (3”x5” card) is required, but more documentation is always better! (If you cannot be at war on competition day, but would still like to enter, your border may be delivered by someone else in your stead.)
The competition is tentatively scheduled for the Second Saturday morning. Please check your Lilies schedule for the definite time and location.  
Please help TRM and enter your Blank Borders!

Scroll Text Competition at Cattle Raids

Posted by

This year there will be another preprint-text-writing competition, upgraded to a -cum-roundtable at Cattle Raids, on August 23, southeast of Mag Mor. Unless an entrant requests otherwise, judging will be interactive among all the participants, a couple judges, and anybody who wanders near enough to get sucked in, so that we can nerd together–erm, benefit from sharing ideas.

If you wish to enter the competition portion, bring three scroll texts written for an imaginary Crown on three of Calontir’s AoA’s. Pick a unifying place, time, theme, or source, so the imaginary Crown would be willing to use them together. If it sounds interesting but you have no idea how to start, email me.

If you don’t want to compete, come anyway for the roundtable. If you have a favorite book you like to use as a source, come share it with us. If you want to talk about the really cool text you wrote (pre-print or not,) bring it along. If you’re considering maybe someday trying to write a text, come tell us what you’re thinking, why you’re interested, and if you have any ideas how we can help you.
