While traditional heraldry as we think of it may not have existed in every time and place throughout history, visual arts and visual identification certainly did. For the competition, be prepared to share one creation appropriate to your persona that uses heraldry as inspiration. The degree of inspiration is up to you, from color palette all the way to full representation of your device/badge. If you do not have a device or badge registered, don’t fret! Both the Kingdom of An Tir and the Barony of Aquaterra have their own devices, as well as badges meant for use by their populaces. Any of these is a wonderful jumping off point to begin to explore heraldic display. The requirements for this year’s competition are as follows: 1) Write a research document about it. – No need to panic. – we expect a minimum of ONE page but you can do more if you like. We have a basic outline that you can use as a guide available if you are interested. Please bring 3 copies of your documentation so the judges have the ability to read it independently. (I can print them in color for you if you send them to me at least one week before Good Yule.) 2) Have something to show – it could be the thing, a poster with pictures, a performance – you get the idea! 3) Be ready for your presentation to be about 10 minutes (I promise it is not as hard as it may sound). Please do not read directly from your paper. We will have a panel of selected participants at Good Yule to judge presentations. We will use the Kingdom Judging form – but don’t worry too much about that, please have fun with this. The goal is to learn more about you, and help you practice working on an Arts & Sciences project. Please feel free to contact me at sibba.in.froda@gmail.com if you have any questions or if you need any assistance.

Sample: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec sagittis leo quis metus. Vivamus convallis felis sed wisi. Nam aliquam turpis blandit leo. --Elizabeth Braidwood
A feast for 100 was prepared by Etole Marchant, Oz von Baekyn, Donnell Davinson, Little Bird, and Michael de Champagne. The theme was middle eastern as requested by Baroness Zahra for the final feast of her reign with Baron Geileikr.
1st Course: Olive Bread, Pita, Hummus, Couscous, Tabbouleh.
2nd: Ox tail soup, Rye bread, Jeweled rice, Lamb a’l Etole, Salata tchini, Falafel
3rd course: Nuts, Oranges, Dates, Baklava (2 kinds)
The Baroness requested the salata tchini leftovers be sent home with her. The Lamb a'l Etole was so popular, guests entered the kitchen looking for more and leftovers had to be hidden so kitchen staff could eat.
New A&S Champion: Sabina di Zorzi for her period dress in heraldic colors.
New Badic Champion: Fleutzig Pongoda Kitsune The Gumiho for her performances.
