++Chessboard A&S Challenge - Countess Emma and Mistress Magdalen both love Chess-the Game of Kings. We issue challenge to all who would venture forth to create an Arts and Sciences item in a pre-17th century style - it may be in any medium - that includes a chess board in the design. The item may be a chess board or have a chess board incorporated in it. Color choice is yours. Chess pieces are not required, but feel free to make some or all if you want. Documentation is not required, but it is appreciated. Only the chessboard design will be evaluated. Bring your completed work to Boar’s Fest on January 9, 2027 for display and judging. The winner will be selected by the Barons of Tir Ysgithr with input from Countess Emma and Mistress Magdalen. A Prize will go to the winner. For more information, please contact Mistress Magdalen at [email protected] or the event stewards.
