We look forward to seeing you at White Court garbed in
your very best, and to that end are sponsoring a costume
contest. Following tradition, we are looking for your
best blue and white garb, either worn or brought for display
purposes for the contest. Rules for the contest shall
be as follows:
be entitled to enter one piece of garb into the contest (this
piece of garb can of course consist of an entire
ensemble!)
items which have been worn or entered into prior contests,
but that being said, previous contest winning pieces of garb
will not be eligible, in order to allow others a chance to
strut their stuff.
not necessarily be new, we are requesting documentation.
This need not be extensive or “professional” grade, but
we would like to know where you found the information on this
piece of clothing, what country or people it represents, and
what time frame we would likely find this in if we were to
turn back the clock.
Hartwood stag, while not necessary, could garner you extra
points during the judging process!
recruited on site from those who are not entering the
contest.
prize, which we will leave as a SURprize until the
event.
Bardic
Contest:
Scathach will sponsor a bardic contest with winter
theme. The prize will be hand made carved bone needles
in a carrved bone needle case.
Contest:
Mishca will sponsor a children’s coloring contest of a Hart (
they will provide supplies) and the prize is a child’s
cloak.
Bribe the Judges:
contest” is also going to occur, and here is how it
works: compeditors of any contest can bring some
of their wares as bribes..ie: homemade jelly, card weaving,
embroidery etc. Whatever is used to bribe the
judges then goes into an auction after the contest
winners are announced. Funds from the auction will be
used to fill Hartwood coffers. It is all in good fun,
and should be taken as such. Judges of the other
contests are guaranteed to appreciate the bribes, but will
judge the contests based on the entrant’s merits, not their
bribes
Newcomer
Contest:
only, a contest to see who can bring the most new people to
the event. We want your friends to have as
much fun as you do in the SCA and this is a great place to
introduce them to the game. And you get a prize!
