A&S Challenges

This is a series of challenges where I have offered a small, shiny prize to anyone who completes the challenge within the time allotted.  Please check the due date before trying for one, since some are now done.  

There are two categories of challenges: general challenges and advanced challenges.

General challenges are small, usually on a 6 week time frame, and many could be completed in an evening.  These are appropriate for all levels of researchers and craftspersons.

Advanced challenges.  These are on a 6 month time frame, and getting a prize means completing more than one.  I tried to scale these to be manageable but yet challenging to a person with Laurel-level research and craft skills.

General Challenge Rules

The Rules:

• Complete the challenge before the deadline.  

• If the challenge calls for the results to be shared "publicly", please include a link to where you put them (blog, website, etc)

• Anyone is welcome to participate.  If I don't know you, and you earn a prize, you'll have to give me your address so I can send it to you. If you aren't comfortable with that, then you'll get a pretty picture emailed to you as a prize. 

• If you earn a prize and haven't heard from me...REMIND ME.  I get distracted easily

• Prizes are at my discretion, and usually consist of whatever small and shiny I have lying around.  Beads, a skein of silk thread, etc.  

Advanced Challenge Rules

• All the rules from the General Challenges apply

• Prizes will consist of something larger/more shiny (such as stoneware cups/bowls from me, nice carved wooden spoons, completely documentable sewing kits, etc)

• You must complete a minimum of 5 challenges to earn a prize.  Depending on if I can get hold of a really really cool prize, there may be one for whoever does the MOST challenges. 

• Almost all of the challenges involve sharing your knowledge.  Though this competition is primarily on the honor system, please provide a link to your finished challenge so that I can link to it from this website.  I don't want to check your work, I want the results of all our efforts to be made publicly available so that people can find them and use them.  Yay research!  

• If you live in An Tir, my tentative plan is to let participants pick from a prize basket at September Crown, but that depends on lots of factors, so you might also get your prize in the mail.
