LOCATION & CONTACT NOTES
This is the same site as last year.  The renovation at the former location is almost done, but there is no guarantee that it will be done in time.  Site is approximately a mile from the Glen Street LIRR Station.  If public transportation is your plan to get there, please let us know so we can help coordinate reaching the site.  There is a parking garage nearby and we can use the library lot for temporary parking to unload/ load our vehicles.

There is an elevator as well as a ramp along the side of the building leading directly to the room we are in.

Attendance cap is 45 people.

Østgarðr SCA A&S Championship 2026:

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 16th!  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 of this will be done by the Østgarðr Vicereines and the current champion)
People's Choice (as chosen by the populace)
Best Research (judging of 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.
