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.

Use any pre-1600 recipe (redacted or unredacted). Please submit copies of the judging, entry and comment forms found in the ‘Files’ section of this page (above) with your documentation. Judging will generally follow the A&S judging rubric and higher points will be given for greater creativity & complexity. This is one where documentation is needed, not least because judges will need to see your ingredients list. Dishes should feed a minimum of five people.
