The Seventh of October, Two-Thousand and Ten, will mark Aetolias Ninth
Anniversary, and were holding a slew of credit-rewarding contests to
celebrate! Its been an amazing nine years, which Ive been privileged
enough to be around for all of, and things are only getting better, so
lets kick off the tenth year with a bang and spread some credits around
to our deserving adventurers!

Please note that for each contest, nine winners will be given credit
prizes. For Arena games, a winner in the earlier of the two events may
NOT participate in the latter event. As an example, anyone who places in
the top 9 in one Survivor event, may NOT participate in the second
Survivor event.

CRAFTING CONTEST
---------------------------------------------
Entries for the Crafting Contest may be from ANY Tradeskill or Talent,
but MUST use the theme of Nine throughout. Judging for the contest will
take place after the Howling on Sunday, the Tenth. All entries must be
mailed on a preserved letter to Ere with your name, and the heading of
Anniversary Design Contest. Questions may be directed to Ere via
message.

BARDIC CONTEST
---------------------------------------------
In this special free-form Bardic contest, all written entries, whether
poetry or prose, should make use of the theme of Nine. All entries
should be submitted to bardic@aetolia.com for judging, which will take
place after the Howling on Sunday, the tenth. Note that submissions for
this contest will NOT count towards Bardic rank or follow the standard
reward system.
