Pulling It All Together: An Entire Outfit
One outfit of your choice, any time period within the SCA. At least two parts of the whole ensemble should have been created since May 2025. More credit for more new pieces. Garments or accessories may have been entered in previous competitions. Prize: 1 dozen antler buttons by HL Erin O’Byrne
“I can’t believe it’s a pop-up?!”
We’ve all seen people being incredibly clever at disguising a modern pop-up canopy to give a much more period feel. If this is you, now is your chance to shine! Enter your pop-up in this contest. Judges will tour the Egils site on Saturday of the event, stopping at campsites of entrants to look at your masterpiece. Note that we are not judging the campsite as a whole, just the canopy.
Some documentation should be provided, but it can be simple and only a page or so in length, talking about what you did and why you made the choices that you made for the time and place that you are targeting. Of course, feel free to provide additional detail if you wish! Prize: a portable hole.
Decorated functional shield
As you boldly stride onto the list field, perhaps your shield makes a statement about your heraldry or your aspirations or your overall attitude? This is the contest for you! There will be a heavy shield category and a targe category. Must have been decorated since Egils 2025. There is an expectation that you did it yourself, or with the help of a friend or family member. Professionally commissioned shields are lovely, but do not belong in this contest. Prize: gift certificate for shield boards from Amalric and Z
Decorated inspirational favor
You are the inspiration for a fighter, and they have inspired you to create a favor to be worn or displayed at the list field. This could be something worn by your fighter, or something to be displayed from the sidelines at the list field in support of your fighter. Must have been created since Egils 2025. Prize: a set of Roman jewelry by Jynx of Hauksgardr
JUDGING FOR THE A & S CONTESTS
Our contests will be judged using the following rubric. The rubric is also a great guide for you to use as you prepare your entry. It lets you know what you need to prepare.
Here is the judging form that we will adapt for each contest.
The current Kingdom A&S Judging Rubric and an introduction to it can be found at the url below. While it is differently arranged and more rigorous than our rubric, the comments about using a rubric are quite useful.
