Greetings Ansteorra,
Here is the list of the entrants for the Ansteorra Summer Crown Tournament.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Crown Tournament to welcome our new Heirs.
In service to the Dream
Jason and Margherita
King and Queen Ansteorra
Ansteorra! Your kingdom needs your help! The new trailer needs to be as bright, helpful, and efficient on the outside just like it is on the inside! We need a design, or at least pictures, to get wrapped on the outside of the trailer. While the company that installs the wrap can do the final design to match the size of the trailer, we need to have a Good Idea for them to work from and the photos and graphics to choose. This means everyone can help with this project, not just graphic designers!
Some design parameters are (but not limited to):
There are two parts to this request:
1. If you have an idea of what you want the outside of the kingdom trailer to look like, please draw it up and send it via email to gilyanclonmacnoise@gmail.com. This doesn’t have to be a final version, ready for the company to install, but it should be a good representation from which a professional graphic designer can build the final version. It also doesn’t need to be a design for all four sides of the trailer. If you have a brilliant idea for the front or back, send in just that idea.
2. If you have photos you think should be included on the outside of the trailer as an advertisement of the SCA and specifically the Kingdom of Ansteorra, post them here. If you would prefer to send links to specific photos, you can send them to gilyanclonmacnoise@gmail.com. This is the part that *everyone* can help with! There are way too many amazing photographers who take way too many thousands of photos for one or twenty people to comb through and find the perfect ones. We need the entire populace of Ansteorra to help us find those brilliant photos! Please make sure to include the photographer’s name for each photo as we will need to contact them for a photo release (and to also be thoughtful and credit other people’s work!).
Lastly – the bribes! Anyone who submits a design idea that gets used in the final design will receive, by the end of the year, two dozen cookies made by me.
Ideas and photos will be due Friday, June 6 at 10pm so we can get the trailer wrapped and looking dramatically beautiful for its trip across several states to Pennsic War!
