---- A&S Competition! ----
The new Baron and Baroness would like continue the tradition of recognizing the many deserving members of their populace.
In honor of their Investiture, we will have two separate contests, and a display to assist them in this endeavor. The winner of each category will be able to pick a prize from the donations within their category. All other entries will be donated to largess after the contest.
The First Competition is for Baronial Largess.
Enter 3 items, be they the same, or complimentary, that would be appropriate tokens of thanks. The winner of this will be able to pick 1 item, to be awarded during evening court.
The Second Competition is for Youth Largess!
For this category, submit three items, be they the same, or complimentary, that can be used as largess to be given specifically to the youth of the Barony. The winner of this will be able to pick 1 item to claim as their prize, to be awarded during evening court.
Anyone can enter this competition, but all Youth who participate will be especially thanked.
Largesse will sometimes need to travel. Because of this- size, weight, and breakability should please be considered when crafting. Items should be accompanied by a short written description (including name of artisan and contact information). Please contact Lady Shoshana Gryffyth with questions at AuntyD@gmail.com. She has a long list of largess ideas if you would like assistance in creating a display.
