Do you like making things? Learning more about history through competitions?
Competitions are a great way to get feedback on your work and focus your research. For some, it definitely beats listening to lectures.
Unless otherwise noted A&S (Arts and Sciences) Competitions focus on articles/inspiration from pre-1600 CE.

If you’re confused and are wondering how to get involved with the competitions check out the Lochac Arts and Sciences site for a wealth of information.

Please contact the Baronial Arts & Sciences Officer if you have any queries regarding A&S Competitions. Links to competition paperwork will go up shortly, and information sessions on judging and entering A&S competitions will be run soon.
