Guidelines for the Competitions
The person in Charge of the competitions is Lynne Simsen, of Duhb-Lynn NVG.
Archery. Preliminary heats will take place on DAY at TIME at the archery range. The finals will take place on the DAY at TIME at the archery range. The location and any changes will be found on the main notice board outside the marque and also near the tavern. The rules for the competition will be published in the handbook.
Bardic. This competition will be judged by public acclaim and complemented by a panel of judges. Their will be 2 awards, one for the "Most Popular Act." And the other for "Best, most authentically inspired" presentation. The Bardic Contest will be held in the Marquee on Friday night at 7pm.
Virulent Curse or Boasting Competition. This competition will take place on the Saturday night 8pm at the more active evening venue and will also be judged by public acclaim and a panel of judges.
Glima (Icelandic/Welsh) Wrestling. This is intended as a bit of late night entertainment. Should their however be dedicated entrants who want to compete in a more serious manner, let Lynne Simsen know and she will do her best to see that it happens. Another one to be judged by public acclaim and the trusty panel of judges, should they be sober and awake.
Brewing Competition. To be submitted by 3pm Friday, these will then be then judged and maybe taken for safe keeping (drinking) immediately thereafter. There will be to separate categories
To be registered with Lynne between 11am and noon Friday in the Lodge. Entries in these will be on view at the market between 1.30pm -3.30pm in the marque and judging will commence at 2pm. The categories are
Best camouflaged non-period item. This is self-explanatory and will be judged on inventiveness and imagination. I have seen a couple of 21st C items unbelievably camouflaged. Enter your own " I can't do with out my ------ over the next four day's" item and see how it compares with your fellow addict's. Its all good fun.
There will be two divisions in each category. The choice of which group you wish to enter is up to you, however as a guide, anyone who sells or claims their gear to be a cut above the rest should enter the professional category. The committee reserves the right to move entrants from amateur to professional on these grounds. All items will be judged on Authenticity of materials, workmanship, (including where applicable accuracy of reconstruction) degree of difficulty in construction, design authenticity, and the documentary reference/source provided. The item does not have to be an exact replica of an historical one, but it must look or act like it came from that period. You will need some documentary evidence to prove your item to a particular period, country, and purpose. Also please remember you will be judged on quality of supporting evidence, not the quantity.
*Should there be several complete outfits of clothing submitted a separate category will be created, otherwise you may select your best single item to compete with other single items. (Two items, if in different fabrics, will be allowed, each as a single items.) All clothing items must be clean (not worn since the last wash) or they will not be accepted for judging. No Exceptions.
