The Arts and Sciences Champion of Terra Pomaria
History
The only championship created in the reign of Cesare and Astrid, 1st Baron and Baroness of Terra Pomaria, the Arts and Sciences Champion is the second earned title created in Terra Pomaria that began at Winter's End Tourney XXXIII/1999.
Determination
Determined annually at the Terra Pomaria Winter Event. The champion has always been determined by Arts & Science entries judged by a panel against other entrants. The panel typically consists of the current Arts & Science Minister as well as the current champion (if s/he is not competing for reinvestiture) and a couple other guest judges deemed knowledgable in the genre. Since its establishment, this championship has been determined on an annual basis. A champion may only succeed him/herself once and thereafter must wait one year before competting again. Categories for competition have traditionally been selected by the Baroness.

Entrants competing for champion are not required to have a consort. Since Winter's End XXXVIII/2004, the consort of the Arts & Sciences Champion has been deemed eligible for receipt the Honor of Elspeth's Iris of Terra Pomaria by the will of Marianna, 3rd Baroness of Terra Pomaria.
