ACTIVITIES: A&S Competitions: For this year’s competition to determine Wintermist’s next Baronial A&S champion, we are going to mix it up a bit with some mixed media. We would like for your entry to use at least two different mediums - maybe you make something using wood and fabric, or leather and beads, or maybe ceramic and glass. There are so many possibilities, and we are excited to see the variety our talented artisans put on display!
*If you are entering art for the extra life only, then please indicate such when you take your art to the tables.
TOURNAMENTS: Lists will close 15 minutes after court. Tournaments will begin shortly after the closing of lists.
Armored: Armored will be standard double elimination with an extra life granted for bringing an Art for Display! The art does not have to match the theme, but will not be counted for the A&S competition unless it does.

The top two from each pool will go onto Semi-Finals. An extra life will be granted for bringing an Art for Display!
