Østgarðr SCA A&S Championship 2025:

Artisans, crafters, brewers, artists, and all, the call of competition has been made!  The Østgarðr Arts & Sciences Championship is back!  A new champion will rise from the ranks of our populace, will it be you?

This year, the Østgarðr Arts & Sciences Championship will be held at the Lion’s End Schola, May 17th! 

Our current champion, Arnora Ketilsdottir, has issued a challenge.  The theme this year is Breadth or Depth?

We tend to only focus on awarding depth of research and progress in a single A&S focus, but that is not how all of us SCA.  Some of us go for more breadth of focus and immerse ourselves in a variety of A&S areas.  For this Østgarðr A&S Champions competition, I invite you to show us breadth or depth.  Have you learned to make string in a hundred different ways? Or have you explored twenty different ways to bring your persona to life through sewing, embellishment, embroidery, metalworking, and pottery? Or do you just explore what seems neat and now have ten different rabbit holes that you have explored? Bring examples of all the different areas you have explored; and show us that there's no shortage of A&S subjects to learn about!
There will be four awards up for grabs:

Østgarðr A&S Champion (only Østgarðr residents can win this award and title, judging for this award will be done by the Østgarðr Vicereines)
Best Overall A&S entry (Anyone who enters can win, judging this will be done by the Østgarðr Vicereines and the current champion)
People's Choice (as chosen by the populace).
Best Research.  (judging this will be done by the Østgarðr Vicereines and the current champion)

Research is not a requirement to compete.  You may display your work for all to see.  Your display could be Photos of your work, or the work itself.  If your display is something edible, you may share it with the populace.  **Please make sure to add an ingredient list with your entry for food allergy safety. 
You may also just show off your research and compete for the best research award!
We are also encouraging group projects.  If you are not sure you want to compete in an A&S contest alone, we welcome you to enter with a mentor, friend, or partner.  We want this to be a beginner friendly competition.
Bonus theme:  Teach us something!  Create a handout about your work for the populace. 

If you wish to display your A&S project but not compete; that will be acceptable.  A signup sheet will be provided, and we will clearly mark entries that are for competition and/or display-only projects.

Come one and all to the Østgarðr Arts and Science Championship and show off what you have made!

NOTE:  ALCOHOL WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE PREMISE.  If you are a brewer and wish to compete, you may display photos of your work and your research or work with my designated judge and the Vicereines to sample your project before the event.
