Their Highnesses, Andreas Morgan and Kallista Morgunova, are pleased to announce that they will be choosing their Arts & Sciences Champion at the Haunting in the Hollow in the Shire of Sylvan Glen this October 4, 2025. The event information is here: https://aethelmearc.org/event/haunting-in-the-hollow-2/We encourage entrants to join us in-person at a wonderful site for a day of sharing and celebrating all the wonderful things that our Arts & Sciences community has to offer. However, we do understand that traveling is tough for many, so we will accept virtual entries upon request.
Register here: https://aeans.aethelmearc.org/kingdom-arts-sciences-championship-as-lx/
The in-person competition will be held along the same lines as in the past. Candidates with their entries will be judged face-to-face and the scoring will be based on the Kingdom A&S rubrics. The rubrics can be found here: https://aeans.aethelmearc.org/rubrics/
Although not a requirement, we ask that candidates register their entry online ahead of time to make planning for us a lot easier. The site is discreetly damp; therefore, we are excited and happy to accept alcoholic beverage entries at the event! Judges can sign up online; please provide us with the area(s) you’re comfortable with judging so that we can match entrants and judges ahead of time.
Candidates who are not able to join us at the event can submit their entry online. You will soon be able to use our online form to upload some photos, your documentation, and some basic info. The virtual part of the competition will be held much along the lines of last year’s competition. Each candidate will meet face-to-face with a panel of judges over Google Meets for one 45-minute judging session during the week leading up to the event and their presentation and entry will be judged with the same rubric used at the event.
Right now, we are planning to spread out the virtual judging between Friday, September 26 and Thursday, October 2. With that in mind, the deadline for virtual entries is midnight, Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
Although we really appreciate pre-registration for the in-person event, candidates can sign up until 9:30am on the morning of October 4.
We want to emphasize that we totally love to see partial projects! It doesn’t have to be a completely finished entry to be eligible. As usual, you may also enter up to three related objects as a single entry. Prior entry in another competition or display does not disqualify you from entering; we love to see continued progress on existing projects.
The scores will be tallied once all judging is complete (the combined online and in-person entries) and relayed to Their Majesties, who will choose their champion(s) and announce them at the event during court.
Their Majesties and the Kingdom Office of Arts & Sciences are very much looking forward to seeing what our Kingdom has to offer!
Yours in service,
Rue and Mairin (Kingdom Officers of Arts & Sciences)
