Greetings!  Since the Categories have already been chosen by the 
collective Royals, the actual criteria for the judging is usually 
hammered out online by the Principal Kingdom A&S Ministers. I for one 
would love input from those artisans (laurel and non-peer)with knowledge 
in the categories being offered for the War Point. We generally start 
grinding the Criteria at the start of August to have them ready to be 
included into the formal treaty in October.

So, here's the scoop. If you have concerns or suggestions for ANY of the 
proposed categories (European Dance, Archery Equipment, and Period 
Storage Containers) please send them my way. Directly or via your local 
Arts Officer, either would be great.

Suggestions for other categories for future years (2006+)is also 
appreciated. Categories should be fairly narrow, but diverse enough to 
appeal to a multi-kingdom audience. (ex. Surface Embroidery is too big 
and has many elements, so one would narrow it by choosing a single style 
of surface embroidery, like Goldwork.)

I look forward to hearing from you all!  THANK YOU!!
