[Artemisia] Judges for Estella...

[Sue Clemenger]

There's also the inter-kingdom aspect of it.  Not all kingdoms divide
categories in the same way.
Plus, I think, it gives us a chance to explore some lesser-known, or more
unusual areas.  Asissi embroidery, instead of general embroidery, or
preserved foods instead of cooking.  Also, you can get a lot of variety by
doing something like this year's "felted item," which could be anything from
a ger to a 16th c. flat cap.
Having participated in a number of them, though (and been in charge a time
or two), I'd say the main reason is probably logistical.  Space, time, and
qualified judges who aren't on the battlefield or something....

> When I asked the same question, I was told that it had to do with finding
qualified judges for each category that was chosen.  It also see,s to have
to do with the concept of comparing apples to apples, rather than comparing
apples to kumquats, mangos, etc.
