We are looking for teachers for this great event. Both experienced
and new teachers are welcome! If you are interested, please contact
Her Excellency Kaliyan Kali directly, musthegenius@yahoo.com or by cell 720-212-9312, to
discuss any details or requirements you may need for your class.
Further details about the class schedule will be forthcoming as the schedule is determined.
Displays:
His Excellency Master Massimiliano Pontieri dal Sasso, Baron Caer Galen, has graciously offered a prize for the best display.
There will be three display areas, or three sections of the display area: the Laurel Display where Masters and Mistresses or the arts and sciences are encouraged to display their work for the edification and admiration of the baronies, the General Display for anyone else who wishes to display their work without entering it into competition, and the Scroll Display where each person who attends the event is encouraged to bring a favorite or notable scroll that they have received in the past so that it can be viewed by the gathering.
Laurel and General Displays
We entreat artisans who have documented projects (whether from previous competitions, or being prepared for future competitions) to bring them to display along with the documentation.
Incomplete projects are welcome in both the Laurel and General areas, especially where techniques or materials will be hidden in the finished product. (As in bookbinding, for example.)
Projects without full docs should have at least a 3x5 card with creator's name, some contact info, approx date of creation and some minimal info about the materials or techniques viewers should pay attention to. More info is better than less, within reason (references or URLs that people can chase are always appreciated, too). If an artisan is a student or apprentice, it may be polite to mention his or her Master or Mistress on the card.
Note paper and pencils will available for people who want to take notes about any of the displays for future reference.
Scroll Display
For the Scroll Display: everyone attending the event is encouraged to bring their favorite scroll to show off. Please include at least a 3x5 with:
recipient's name, artist(s) if known, approx date of creation or when the scroll was presented, what the scroll was for (especially if it is not in English).
There will be an area for people who receive scrolls at the event to put them on display. (They don't need 3x5 cards, of course, that's what the Heralds are for). We may need to coordinate space with Their Excellencies and Their Majesties for this, especially if there are any awards planned that may involve very large 'scrolls'
There will be at least one magnifying glass available in the scroll display area.
Display InstructionsIf possible, people who plan to take part in any of the displays should contact the coordinator, Lady Yildiz the Traveler, with info about the size of the space they will require (we will try to include some extra space for spur of the moment displays, but anyone displaying large projects should definitely warn us ahead of time).
Any one who will bring special display equipment (e.g. racks, dressmaker's dummies) or things like furniture that need floor space instead of table space should definitely contact the coordinator ahead of time.
People who display projects will receive small tokens of appreciation (probably small candles) for their assistance in enlightening the Kingdom.

Special Awards
The Ministry of Arts and Sciences of Caer Galen has been publicizing two special awards for which both displays and competition entries will be eligible:
The Monkey Festival A prize for items that look to the past more for inspiration than strict authenticity
The Busy MonkeyA prize for projects that are displayed in an incomplete state, particularly where the incompleteness reveals details of materials and workmanship that would be obscured in the finished piece.
These prizes will be given by the Ministry in consultation with their Excellencies.
