The 2026 Crown’s A&S Championship is now open for registration
About the Competition
The 2026 Crown’s A&S Championships will be held on March 14th, 2026, in the Barony of Endewearde. We will be having an in-person competition format.
Please visit the event listing for more info: https://www.eastkingdom.org/event-details/?eid=4490
If you have any concerns regarding your ability to participate please email the Kingdom MOAS, Mistress Raziya bint Rusa (moas@eastkingdom.org). We are committed to making this as accessible as possible and there will be a variety of options and accommodations available. See On Accessibility for more information.
French and other non-English documentation is welcomed. We can connect artisans with translators, and we may be able to arrange judging in alternate languages – please email our office as soon as you register if you will need any assistance or accommodations regarding language.
Those considering entering are advised that this is a high-level competition where the focus is on picking the kingdom arts and sciences champions. The judging is rigorous, and entrants are expected to be familiar with the kingdom A&S rubric, which will be used to assess entries. The duties of the champions include representing the Crown at events, participating in and/or assisting with the Pennsic A&S War Point, and assisting the MoAS office in running next year’s Crown’s A&S.
If anyone is not able to make those commitments, does not wish to serve as champion, or does not enjoy competition, we highly encourage them instead to sign up to display at the event. Display entrants will be showcased along with competitors, and feedback will be available to those displaying if they so wish.
We are asking that entrants review all of the material on this website about the competition. However, a few pieces of information we wish to specifically highlight are listed below.
Registration will open December 1st, 2024 and will end February 14th
This year the registration deadlines are the same for all categories. We will likely extend the display registration as long as there is enough dispay space at the event site for additional displays.
