Baronial Arts and Science Display and Competition! 

2026 Carillion A&S Championship:  The Journey

A journey begins with a single step.  Or stitch.  Or stroke of the pen.  Sometimes a journey begins without warning, and without a full grasp of the mountain you are about to climb.  There are even times when a journey is undertaken by those who feel under-qualified and ill-prepared for the task at hand.  But in the Barony of Carillion, we know and understand that these can make for the greatest journeys and stories of all.

For this challenge, showcase a work that tells one such story, of your own A&S journey.  Perhaps a piece of pottery that demonstrates how much your techniques have improved since you first began.  A dress that you are proud of completing despite the unforeseen challenges.  Or even a poem or scroll that tells the story of a journey itself.

If you have any questions or would like inspiration or support in your journey, please feel free to reach out to current A&S champion Sabine di Sandra of House Carpathia at sabinedisandra@gmail.com

Arts and Science Display
Please show us your works from There and Back Again!  We want to see your beginning attempts and your current projects!  Prizes for both adults and youth! 


Baronial Bardic Competition!

Garb Challenge!  We all love our fandoms!  Create a garb or accessory inspired by your favorite fandom.  This could be a tunic in the colors of an Elven forest, a Star Wars themed haversack or an Alice in Wonderland Viking dress!  Let your imagination run wild.  A cool prize awaits the winner.
