Silver Muse Competition
“Arts and Science through the Ages”
Find your inner Muse, Early or Late! This year’s Mists A&S Silver Muse Competitions are moving through time, and expertise.
Each Mists event will have two competitions: One early period, one later period. This will allow Artisans to grow a body of work that shows progression through both historical time, and their expertise growing over the years.
Time Periods
Early Period: 10th Century
Late Period: 15th Century
Teach us how to cure a headache? Or how to lull a child to sleep with a lullaby? Make a painting or a hat or gloves? Show a tool they might have used to garden?
Competition Guidelines
Entries may be dropped off at the Arts & Sciences shade (Shelter B) starting at the end of Invocation.
Judging will take place during the break before the finals.
Dirty Dozen Donation Derby
Viscountess Margaret Grym will be hosting a Dirty Dozen Donation Derby on behalf of Their Highnesses.
Entries may be dropped off at the Arts & Sciences shade (Shelter B) starting at the end of Invocation.
Voting will start at the end of the first round.
Voting will end at the beginning of finals.
Entry Guidelines
All entrants must create 12 items based on a theme that are suitable for largess:
12 needle books
12 hats - from different or the same period(s)
12 items suitable for a specific time period
12 children’s toys
Note: 12 socks would not be suitable as that is only 6 pairs
All entries must be tagged and ready to be gifted the day of the competition; the tag should have:
Item Name
Maker Name
Maker Branch/Location
Item Content Material (if not readily apparent)
Items need not be documented; this is not an Arts and Sciences competition.
Items should not have Royal or personal heraldry (The Mists Populace Badge is fine).
Judging
Judging is done by the populace. Each entrant display will have a cup placed next to it and anyone may put a provided token into the accompanying cup to denote their choice.
The entrant with the most tokens in their cup at the end of the day will receive one item from each entry, announced in court. The remaining 11 items from each entry will be given to Their Excellencies of the Mists at the end of the day.
