Greetings from Yvianne de Castel d'Avignon,
Pentathlon Coordinator for this year's Ice Dragon

Some view the Ice Dragon A&S competition, hosted by the Rhydderich Hael, 
as
the big scary monster the name implies ... but it doesn't have to be. Many
have conquered that fear. The key is in realizing that Ice Dragon is a
quest that should be undertaken, not an enemy that needs to be defeated.

To start you on your quest, I am pleased to be able to share with you some
of the basic information as well as some new and exciting changes in the
works for the competition this year.

Ice Dragon will take place in the Rhydderich Hael (Buffalo NY) on March
26, 2011.

Entrants of all levels of skill and experience are welcome and encouraged 
to
enter the A&S competition. Classes to assist entrants and judges/potential
judges are being planned, articles are being written, web pages are being
developed. If you have questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate
to ask someone .... A friend, mentor or your local A&S officer are a great
place to start, but many people including the Kingdom A&S minister, 
Baroness
Elisabeth, and myself are also willing and available to field your
questions.

At the conclusion of this missive is a list of the main categories for the
competition and the sub-categories within them. There are a few changes 
from
last year, so please take a minute to look them over.... and be aware that
things may be shifted to accommodate entrant or judging necessity.

After much discussion and consideration, I am pleased to announce a 
completely new category for this year  - "ANIMAL ARTS". It will encompass 
tools of the trade or accessories made for the use of animals (equestrian, 

beekeeping, hunting, farming, fishing, etc.... )

Entries in any category must have been completed within the past year.
They may have been previously entered in a display or other competition, 
but
winners of any Kingdom's A&S competition are not eligible to participate.
No kits please
You may cross enter any single item in a maximum of 2 main categories.
You may have only 2 entries in any main category.
Entry by proxy will be allowed.

Another change for this year is that entrants will get to choose the depth
of the commentary they receive. As an option to the traditional Ice Dragon
critique, a light colored pastel paper will be available for those who 
wish
to receive light comments.

There will be space at the top of each commentary sheet for entrants to
leave a note for the judges. They may ask a question about a problem they
encountered, request sources for information or materials or even let the
judges know it's their first time entering an A&S competition. It will not
be required to leave any message in this area but it is hoped that 
entrants
will choose to communicate with the judges in this way. The judges will 
use
the information to better tailor their comments to the artisan.

More details will follow, but this should help those who are anxious to 
get
started on their entries. If you have specific questions now, wish to
volunteer to judge or help with the administration of the competition 
please
feel free to contact me directly.

Regards,
Yvianne
