------------------------------

*Categories for Estrella War .xxvi. (Estrella War XXVI; February
2010),*agreed upon at the Treaty Negotiations (18 October 2008), will
be:

   - *Casting: Badges*—includes metal "badges" (i.e., cast metal themed
   ornamental pieces designed to be either pinned or sewn to hats, clothing,
   etc.) cast in styles modeled after those created prior to 1600 AD.
   - *Group Vocal Music Performance*—includes any vocal music from prior to
   1600 AD performed by more than one vocalist (i.e., a "group" performance).
   Performances will be limited to ten (10) minutes performing time from the
   beginning of the performance. Copies of the music (score) must be provided
   as part of the entrants' documentation.
   - *Maiolica*—includes any maiolica piece modeled after those produced in
   Europe prior to 1600 AD. A single piece, or an integral set of pieces (e.g.,
   a group of glazed tiles forming a single picture), will be accepted as a
   single entry. Judging will focus more heavily on the glazing and decorative
   aspects of the work than on the manufacture of the base pottery. [Use of any
   hazardous and/or toxic materials must be detailed within the documentation,
   and use of such materials in a manner that may expose judges and audience to
   potential harm is forbidden.]

*Artemisian documentation help*
Please note that documentation requirements to win an Estrella War
competition (inter-kingdom) are much more stringent than an Artemisian
Kingdom competition.  If you have an entry and I, and perhaps other Laurels,
offer to critique your documentation to make sure it has all the necessary
information.  And, as we will be busy in early February preparing for WAR,
plan to send me the documentation as soon as possible, but no later than Jan
15th.

YIS,
Cas
