Welcome to the Ice Dragon A&S Competition & Displays
Much is changing in 2009! We have a brand new event site in Clarence,NY with much more space than in past Ice Dragons. This increased space opens up exciting new possibilities for the following A&S competitions and displays:
A&S Penthathlon Competition: this one-day Kingdom-wide competition is designed on two levels, for both Experienced and Novice contestants who want to test their re-creation and documentation skills in a blind-judged environment. Award ribbons are given based on scores, along with sponsored prizes; one example is the Zog Memorial Best Documentation prize of $100.00 USD.
Trials and Tribulations of an SCA Newbie (A&S display) Every SCAdian I know has helped a newbie in some way. This year, a newbie, Marilyn Monroe (mka), frantically needs your help by Ice Dragon. Click here to learn how you can help with her problems and hopes.
Fashion Show (A&S display and promenade): The Ice Dragon Fashion Show is seeking costuming/re-created garments from peasant to Royalty, covering the timeperiod between 600CE -1600CE. Please wear your best for all to see and enjoy. This is a documentation-free display and will be moderated by an Master of Ceremonies, followed by a Grand Promenade through the Event Site.
The Artisans' Retrospective (A&S display): The Pent, above, limits work to that completed in the past year. The Retrospective is looking for collections of work done over a longer timeperiod. We are especially interested in seeing your EARLIEST attempts at re-creation contrasted with your later more-accurate re-creations. We beg you to search the back of your closets and dig out those hidden, embarrassing, not-quite-right first attempts. We'd love to marvel at your improvement!!!! Encourage those who despair. We are also very interested in long-term studies of single topics. Documentation is very helpful, but not required. Previous Ice Dragon Pent winners' work is very welcome.
