Site fees for all Kingdom events are:
15 USD ($3 NMS applied to all non-members charged an adult rate) or 16 Canadian ($4 NMS applied to all non-members charged an adult rate).
More information will be forthcoming as it is confirmed.
This will be a two-day competition, along the basic lines of Kingdom Arts and Sciences. Just as for the Kingdom A&S Championship, contestants will need to declare their intention to enter in advance of the competition. The deadline for applications is July Coronation (the deadline might be extended if you have a compelling reason why you could not meet the original deadline - this will be decided on a case by case basis). This year's KBC will be held in the charming Barony of Aquaterra. If you intend to compete for OVERALL Kingdom Bardic Champion you must notify, in writing, the Crown, the A&S Minister, and the Kingdom Bardic Deputy. 'In writing' will include snail mail, e-mail, and / or physically handing the written letter of intent to the parties in question. The email addresses of the Crown and the A&S Minister appear at the end of this message.
It is also possible to enter single entries at KBC, which can be an excellent way to get feedback and exposure. A single entry is also a good way to test the waters if going for overall Bardic Champion seems too intimidating. If you wish to enter a single entry, you do not have to send a formal letter of intent to all the parties listed, but you do need to send me an email listing your name and very specific details about your proposed entry ('song' is not specific). Single entries also do not have to meet the July Coronation deadline, but there are a limited number of spaces for single entries , so the sooner you contact me the better. When we run out of judging slots, no further single entries will be allowed. No single entries will be allowed at the last minute.
More information about the 5th KBC will be posted as it becomes available.
The rules, procedures and other details pertaining to KBC can be found on the KBC website: http://www.currentmiddleages.org/kbc .
People who need to receive your Letter of Intent to enter for overall Bardic Champion:
- Kingdom Bardic Deputy
- Their Royal Majesties, King and Queen of An Tir
- Crown Prince and Crown Princess
- Kingdom Arts & Sciences Minister
In service,
HL Raffaella di Contini / HL Soelig Sweetglee / Lady Isebel von Waldeck
