Have you noticed – the only Montengarde champion who doesn’t have a pretty medallion is our A&S Champion?
Would you like to design a medallion for future champions to wear – and for others to admire?
This challenge is open to all artisans, working in any suitable medium. Prepare a design in any format that suits your needs (sketch, schematic, CAD, etc) that will represent the kind of medallion you would be able to make for future A&S champions. You may also include photographs of previous work, mock-ups, samples, etc – anything you need to get your idea across. You will have a small display space; a large presentation is not required. No documentation is needed beyond the required entry elements. You will not need to personally present your ideas to the judges – though they may ask you personally for more information.
Requirements:
- Medium must be durable – enough to be worn by multiple champions over the years with due care and appreciation of your work.
- Design can reflect the title of our A&S champion, the “Emerald Rose”.
- Your entry must include:
- Your society name, and contact information
- A time frame of when you could complete the medallion if your design is the winner
- A cost for creating the medallion
- Description of your design including size, materials proposed, etc.
Judging:
In a fun reversal… the competitors vying to BE the next A&S champion will be judging the medallion design they love the best. With this in mind, it would be a very good idea to chat with past and future champions for ideas regarding materials, colour, size, weight, etc…
Judges will be asked to excuse themselves from judging if there is a significant conflict.
Eligibility:
- All members and non-members may enter
- Participants can be from anywhere in Avacal;
- Youth are welcome to enter WITH their parent/guardian who should supervise the process, and should be prepared to supervise youth should their design be selected in the completion of the medallion to meet timeline and budget.
- Group submissions are welcome AND encouraged! Share your skills with one another!
- Entrants vying to be Montengarde’s A&S Champion are eligible to enter to design the medallion, but must excuse themselves from judging.
- Distance entries are welcome – please send your proposal with a trusted friend who might be able to answer questions if needed, if you are unable to attend the event.
