Greetings,

The Conclave of the Arts, alongside the Cultural Ministry and Commerce Ministry of Spinesreach, will be holding a contest culminating in a merchant's fair. All are welcome to attend and participate, including Albedi and Vorostran individuals.

-----------------------
\ The Contest \
-----------------------

Start: Now
End: 1st of Chakros, year 17

Details: Using the art form of your choosing, showcase your tale of the Vorostrans and their trials - how they affected you, those around you, and the future that followed. If you are unsure what qualifies as Art, please review CLANHELP ARTS.

Submissions are to be sent to Linyive via letter. All entries will be collated for review and presented for public voting at the fair. Should no entries be voted upon, final selection will default to my judgment.

Prizes:

-One work found worthy of showing the Strife of their trial will be awarded a favor from the Warlord Himself.
-The general prize pool is 30 credits for first, 15 credits for second, and 10 credits for third.
-Each valid* submission will be awarded 1 credit, with a maximum of five submissions per individual.

*A valid submission is one that demonstrates genuine effort. Entries lacking merit will not be considered.

----------------------
\ The Fair \
----------------------

Event Date: 5th of Chakros, year 17, at midnight

Location: Western Itzatl, Toirneach Estate - neutral territory for all.

Details: Roughly a quarter day after the howling, the doors of my estate will open. Food and drink will be provided. A journal containing all contest entries will be available for public viewing and voting. Door prizes will be offered, and several smaller contests will be run throughout the event.

As part of the fair, space will be available for vendors and artists to set up booths. There is no fee, nor will I take any portion of proceeds - one need only inform me in advance of their intent to claim a space.

----------------------

If you have any questions, reach out to me directly. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing what you create from these trials and to welcoming you at the upcoming fair.

Strife endures - show us what it forged in you.
