Meridies Arts and Sciences
Welcome to the Arts and Sciences home page for the Kingdom of Meridies!
These pages include information that will be helpful to local officers, entrants, and the populace in general. There is some repetition and cross-referencing in order to ease the fact finding process.
Greeting to the talented populace of Meridies from Mistress Maudeleyn Godeliva Taillour, Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences. What an exciting event this year's combined Kingdom Arts and Sciences and Crown List is shaping up to be! There will be beautiful art to admire, classes to attend, displays to delight, and of course brave fighters vying for the right to put their consort on the Throne of Meridies. There will be prizes for Laurel's Choice and Populace Choice in the Open, and sponsored category prizes in the Faire. For more information on the event, please visit: http://dellacivetta.org/kas-cl/index.php
If you are interested in participating in either the Faire (scored by judges) or the Open (voted by populace choice) please visit: http://artsandsciences.meridies.org/entering.php There you will find information about categories, judging guidelines, and guided documentation forms if you are unsure where to start. You are also encouraged to pre-register your entry, although it is NOT required. Pre-registering allows us to plan for judges and for space in the hall. If you have any questions about any of this, please do not hesitate to contact me at: arts_sciences@meridies.org
I would like to give special recognition to all the entrants of the Open A & S at Gulf Wars. There were 62 static entries (13 from Meridies!) and 17 performing arts entries (5 Meridian.) Lady Marguerite Stewart won the Meridian Laurels's Prize with her Blankmange. THL Ginevra Brembati won a Personal Prize from Duchess Bionfionn of Gleann Abhann and the Populace Choice for her Beekeeping Display. Our Champions who competed in the A & S Champions Battle represented us well. Thanks to Lady Fleur Stewart for her perfomance of "Jonah," Mistress Constanza for her Anglo-Saxon Jewelry, and Duke John of Ean Airgead for his scale armour.
As always, I encourage everyone to contact me with any ideas you might have.
Yours in Service to the Kingdom, Crown, and the Arts, Maudeleyn
