Registration for Crown’s A&S Champions 2024 is now open!
About the Competition
The 2024 Crown’s A&S Championships will be held on March 2, 2024, in the Shire of Quintavia. This year, we will return to the in-person format used prior to the pandemic. However, there will be a remote/virtual option for those who are not able to attend the event due to health or other accessibility reasons.
If you have any concerns regarding your ability to participate please email the Kingdom MOAS, Mistress Amalie von Hohensee (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 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.
