From the largest<br>baronies to the smallest canton, the Kingdom of AEthelmearc has the<br>most talented artisans in the knowne world! The Shire of Sunderoak<br>would like to challenge all groups, all artisans, of all levels to<br>enter Ice Dragon! <br><br> Here is your chance to show and share your art with others. Are you<br>new to the SCA? Great! Please come and share with us what has<br>inspired your love of an art or a science! Have you been a member for<br>(mumble, mumble) years? Try
something new! Something old! Show us what<br>you’ve got! No art is too grand or too modest to take part in this<br>grand display of artistic endeavor. <br><br> Are you afraid of competition, not sure how to get started or what<br>to prepare for? There is ample help to make entering Ice Dragon not<br>so scary. Visit the Kingdom A&S website, <a href="http://www.aeans.org/" target="_blank">http://www.aeans.org/</a>, [1]<br>and the Ice Dragon website, for information on entering,<br>documentation, research and more! <br><br> How does this challenge work? Unlike Ice Dragon this is not open to<br>individual’s only official SCA groups. It will also not be judged<br>on scores. The winning group will be the one with the most<br>participation. If your shire has 5 members and all 5 enter – you<br>have 100% participation, if you have 100 members and only five<br>enter…….well, you won’t win the competition,
but there are no<br>real losers in this endeavor either. <br><br> Besides bragging rights - what do you get if your group rises to the<br>top? The members of the Shire of Sunderoak have “agreed” to toil<br>and sweat whilst they make a heraldic silk banner for the winning<br>barony, shire or canton. To sweeten the pot, there has also been an<br>anonymous $50 donation to fund a post competition celebration. <br> I have seen much skill among the artisans of this Great Kingdom and<br>know there are many more with hidden talents – please join us and<br>share with us the wonders of your knowledge and skill! Let us help<br>inspire each other to greater levels! <br> Consider the gauntlet thrown; I look forward to seeing you at Ice<br>Dragon! <br> Katla <br><br><br>Links:<br>------<br>[1] <a href="http://www.aeans.org/"
