Hi friends, I'm happy to announce a short-form, five page history research paper competition that will be happening at Lilies. Details below: ----- The SCA has come to cover a vast stretch of human history: all the years before the seventeenth century, all across the world. A wonderful myriad of cultures have thrived in that long time span, and the SCA gives us all opportunities to sample - or drink deeply - from the experiences and examples of these long-ago peoples. Write a short research paper about a slice of history you find particularly enthralling. It could be a culture, an event, an individual, or a particular historical development. ----- TO ENTER: • Keep your entries to roughly five pages or 2,500 words • Include your sources in some manner (c'mon, half the fun of reading papers is chasing down new sources)! • ENTRY DEADLINE: 11:59PM, Sunday May 26th • Submit papers to Hugo van Harlo ----- JUDGING & PRIZES • THE PRIZE: A Half-Price Books gift card will be awarded to two winners: one Mallet, Swan, or below, and another to a Laurel, Lily, or Hammer. • JUDGING / FEEDBACK SESSION: Wednesday 1:00-3:00; Entrants will be contacted with a specific time slot, but everyone is welcome to come be history geeks together at this time. Winners will be announced at court. • LOCATION: Bull Woods' camp kitchen (across from the showers and Heralds' Point) ----- • JUDGES: Three awesome research-loving, history-geeking-out-on, paper-reading, friendly neighborhood Laurels: › Mistress Jorunn Eydisardottir › Master Rhodri ap Hywel › Count Marius Lucian Fidelis • SPONSOR: Hugo van Harlo ----- https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.facebook.com_events_289780631951931_&d=DwIFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=HMuG7tl-bVEdqt-txqKN6pejKTIm0blUrdFOGfTmvlU&m=GuhrRvut_mz1W2Dg6Do5UgO91SYPXAJoGARd915rhG8&s=W-hyaIa5Oy0dJvpZEnRleUpayaYHDEPLXjLHIrKg5us&e= Yovr moſt hvmble ſervant, Hvgo van Harlo Facebook.com/RenaissanceNetherlands -- Manage your subscription at https://LISTSERV.UNL.EDU
