Montengarde 12th Night Feast

Montengarde Arts and Sciences Championship

Unto the populace of Montengarde shall these words be shared! At this upcoming Twelfth Night, January 18, 2025, there is to be a grand Tournament to choose the next Montengarde Emerald Rose, Champion of Arts and Sciences!

January brings us into the middle of the darkest nights and coldest days. However, there is rejoicing to be had when we do the things that we love. These activities help bring us through these challenging times and into the bright light of the coming Spring.
Thus! The theme for the upcoming Tournament is What Inspires You?* Show us, through your chosen Art or Science, what brings you light and inspires you through these bleak winter months.
(* Please note that while we would love to see entries that follow the theme, it is not a requirement for entry. Just a fun extra!)

The document containing information on the A&S tournament for this year is now available in this folder on the website. If you have any issues accessing the document please let me know.

Rubric for judging physical and non-physical entries may be found on the Avacal Kingdom site (Avacal.org) under Officers, Ministry of Arts and Sciences, Documents.
