GNW A&S Competitions
This year, there are two Arts & Sciences competitions for you to start working on now and enter at the GNW.
Theme 1: Flora and fauna
With our event site being part of a wildlife rehabilitation area, this theme is about incorporating flora or fauna – flowers or animals – into your entries. Open to all areas of A&S, including garb, embroidery, illumination, jewelry or even prose.
Theme 2: Dressed for battle
War is in the name of our event and this theme is to showcase the fabulous work that goes into dressing for battle. This competition is for anything that is used or worn to compete in tourneys or war – including surcoats, shields, helms, quivers or complete outfits.
