Announcing the Queen of Hearts XXXI Crafting Categories

 


The crafting and performance categories for Queen of Hearts XXXI are as follows


Performance Competition:

A partner dance


Crafting Categories:

The theme for this year is “The four seasons”. Each of the four traditional seasons (summer, autumn, winter, spring) must be represented across the four of your team’s crafting entries. How you interpret these themes is up to the crafters on your team.

  • Foamsmith Competition: a hand-and-a-half blunt weapon with a special emphasis on being “otherworldly”.

  • Armourer Competition: a set of pauldrons with a special emphasis on being made of mixed media (at least three).

  • Garb Competition: a doublet with sleeves with a special emphasis on being reversible.

  • Artificer Competition: a source of light with a special emphasis on the incorporation of movement.


Additionally within the next month or so we will be releasing the rubrics we will be using to judge the above competitions.
