Here is the revised copy per Lord Godric von Appenzell, Minister of Sciences
Populace of the West! Pay Heed! Their Majesties challenge all subjects to compete in an Arts and Sciences Championship to be held at October Crown.

The Champion will hold this position for one year and serve Their Majesties by encouraging participation in the Arts and Sciences throughout Their Realm. The Champion will be determined as the competitor with the greatest combined score of all competitions entered at October Crown.

In addition to the previously published competitions of:
• Period instrumental piece
• Armor, for people or animals

The following categories have been added for the Championship:
• Research Paper (no more than 10 pages) – can be any subject that is of particular interest to you: a battle, shoes, fortifications, jewelry, migrational patterns of Viking raiders, etc. You know there is something that you have been itching to research.
• Textiles – can be: clothing, a favor, a loom, period tie-dye (if you can document it).
• Ballistics – Might be: arrows, catapult, throw in your own ideas!
• Period Private Parts – Etchings, underwear, you have a naughty mind. Make it work!

You can enter as few as one or as many as all of the competitions. As normal, documentation will be required for all entries. The Champion will be decided upon at Crown and announced in Court.


Use a limp noodle to beat me if I've misremembered things.

Their Majesties, with the aid of their Arts and Sciences officers, will hold an Arts and Sciences Championship, at October Crown. The competition categories are as follows:

• instrumental music
• armor for people or animals
• a research paper (any topic in SCA period, 5-10 pages)
• textiles (making, using, etc.)
• naughty bits (period bawdy or "pornographic" material - pg-13, we're a family show)
• ballistics

Rules:
You may enter any number of categories. One item may be used for more than one category. The entries will be scored both under the standard Arts and Sciences competitions scoring, and by a Championship judging panel, consisting of Their Majesties, the Arts and Sciences officers, and the newest member of the Order of the Golden Poppy. Based upon the scores from that panel, the person with the highest total score will be made the new Arts and Sciences Champion.

The Arts and Sciences Champion will be a part of Their Majesties' entourage, process in court, and have other duties as the Crown makes known.
