Kingdom Arts and Science Faire

Trimaris hosts one Kingdom Arts & Sciences Faire each year. 

The Art & Sciences Faire is a traditional, academic style Faire, in which individual pieces are entered into a specific category. This is an academic and artistic faire in which the entrant competes against a set parameter of rules at their chosen level. The emphasis is on education and constructive feedback. 

There are three levels of entry at each Faire: Novice, Journeyman, and Masterwork. Entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges and scored according to the criteria specified for each level of entry. Evaluation forms for each level are available to all entering prior to the faire and should be used to guide the development and completion of your project.

Volunteer to be a Judge!

To volunteer to judge, you must have either judged a Trimaris Kingdom Art Sci Fair prior, or you may shadow judge another evaluator your first time out. We seek to ensure due calibration of a new-to-you system, and ensure our entrants who have worked so very hard receive a fair and measured review. We also ensure at least three judges per entry, for well rounded feedback.

About the Judges' Breakfast

For transparency, a gratis Judges' Breakfast is provided for those who serve as a Art Sci Fair Scholar Entry Judge at the Kingdom Art Sci Fair on January 7th, in deference to the fact that they may be tied to the Fair for several hours. This is paid for from the Kingdom Art Sci Budget - or donation. No part of your event fee covers this kindness to those who serve as Judges.

For any questions or concerns, or to Volunteer in advance to judge, please reach out to the KMOAS.
