Website:  http://kasf.atlantia.sca.org

Martial Activities:  There will be no fighting, but anyone wishing to hold classes out of armor, please, contact the Event Steward.

Arts & Sciences Activities:  Gyrth Oldcastle Poetry Smackdown:
It is not too early to start thinking about your poems for the Smackdown at KASF.  Remember this is done in good fun.  There is no pressure.  It is a good place for novices and others who may wish to start performing their poetry to come and recite.  Your poems can be read.  Please remember you do not need to write a poem in each category.  It is optional.  You may write one or more poems at your discretion.  Again, the object here is to have fun!

Entry Fee - Write one period poem of any length placing Gyrth Oldcastle as the hero in a folktale.  Adapt any folktale or make up your own based on his life, and make him the hero–with his words, with his wit, with his deeds, with his cunning or with his love. This challenge is designed so that those who did not know Gyrth can put him in any story and those who did know Gyrth can tell us about him.

One Slam Poem and One Praise Poem - Write two poems in any medieval style of your choosing
-       one should  praise an  inanimate object (a rock, a spoon,  a wall, etc.) or insect  (flea, bee, cricket, etc.) and the
-       other should slam an inanimate object or insect. Don’t tell what the object or insect is – we  must  guess from your poem.

One Poem of the Writer’s Choice - Give us a poem on any subject, event or person of your choice written in a medieval genre.

Please be prepared to give us a sentence or two explaining the style of your poem.

From ….. To Competition or Display
This type of project is an exercise in living history, taking the arts, crafts, and sciences of a number of people and learning them all so that you can create something from its inception to its end product, working the whole process with your own hands, gaining an appreciation for the art, finesse, and endeavoring spirit of medieval artisans and tradesmen.

Those who wish to compete please mark your entry accordingly and sign up on the entrant sheet.

If you would like feedback only on your project please provide a means of recording the words of the judges and attendees who view your work.

All participants are encouraged to bring touchable samples of various stages, tools or a test product for others to try a hand with, or other facet of the process that would allow participation by others rather than simply viewing the documentation and end product.  They are also encouraged to commit to spending a small portion of the day with their display explaining and answering questions.

I am bringing my work on a Soil to Scroll project, which has inspired me as well as taught me a great deal more than simply reading the period manuals and modern discussions that formed the basis for the project,  to display and I heartily encourage feedback from everyone who drops by to see it.   If you, too,  have taken an end product back to its beginnings in the soil, water, field, or stone and seen it through on its journey to the artwork you envisioned please bring your work and documentation and share this with our Kingdom.

Entertain.  Instruct.  Enlighten.  Inspire.
