Come see the great works that the artists of Ansteorra have been up to during these past long months. Artisans are encouraged to bring their latest works and not be concerned about space. Each artisan will have at least half of an 8′ table for their use and as much floor space as desired. Please let us know if you need more table space or if you wish to bring your own table or other specific needs such as walls or electricity. We are pleased to note that brewing entries are very welcome, though the site is otherwise dry.

This event is open to Artisans of ALL LEVELS! Laurel’s Prize Tourney (LPT) is Not for Laurel Display, Not a Tourney, and there isn’t a Winning Prize! It’s a day of A&S Geekery – Artisans set up and sit with a “Body of Work” display, and Laurels (and the populace) come around to look at the awesomeness and talk to the artisan about shared interests.
We are happy to be able to have BREWING entries at this venue! (site is otherwise dry) So come share your potables (in moderation) with Brewing Laurels.
In addition, we will have all of the Gulf Wars Artisan Champion entries on display at LPT.
In addition, we are trying something new this year: Laurels who are willing to dive deep into your documentation and assist you by providing extensive feedback on your documentation. This deep review is entirely optional, and you must opt-in for this type of feedback. This offer is for ONE project per artisan. Documentation must be submitted by February 1, 2023 in order to receive this type of feedback.
Artisan Pre-registration will close on February 4, 2023. If you think you want to display, PLEASE sign up! We want to have enough table-space for everyone, and pre-registration helps the Laurels know who is displaying so we can be sure and talk everyone.
For more information, please contact Czina Angielczyka, Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences at kingdom @ moas.ansteorra.org
