Art Competition: The Fruits of High Summer!





House de Sauvre presents...




An Art Competition to Celebrate Summer!

We invite one and all to come to fair Dementlieu and join us in a celebration of summer! It is a time to admire the beauty of of the season at its height, before the gradual darkening of autumn.

A panel of judges shall then determine the three artistic productions that most authentically represent the theme.

The first-placed winner shall receive a prize fund of 20,000 solars, as well as first pick from a prize pool below; the second-placed winner shall win 10,000 solars, as well as second pick from the prize pool; the third-place shall receive 5,000 solars and third pick from the prize pool; and finally, the fourth-place runner up shall receive a last pick from the prize pool.

The Prize Pool to date includes the following rare prizes and valuable antiques:
 - One scroll of the Illusion spell, Shades
 - One set of Lotus Greaves
 - A Belt of the Swordsman
 - A Helm of Nobility
 - A Courtier's Obi
 - A Crusader's Helm

Please REGISTER by Friday the 8th September in writing to Sieur Dorian de Sauvre at the Governor's Hotel.

((This competition is this Saturday!

Note for players who haven't done this before: you don't actually have to produce a drawing, just a description of one. e.g.:

[This is a drawing of a sausage. It looks delicious.]

No actual artistic talent required; it can be assumed your character has some.))

Due to an administrative issue on my part, registration will be extended to one hour prior to the event.

I shall be available to handle entrants personally.
