The Tournament of Arts sign-ups for Artisans and Laurels due by June 6: Battlemoor Tournament of the Arts Sign-ups 2025

Much like the Chivalry and the Defenders of the Kingdom strive to test the mettle of unbelted warriors through their respective tournaments, the Laurels of the Kingdom shall challenge all artisans to assemble at The Tournament of Arts (TOA) and bring their finest work for evaluation, criticism, and admiration.

This is not a competition, but an opportunity to allow Laurels and artisans to connect and discuss their shared passion for the arts. The TOA gives artisans the opportunity to have face-to-face consultation time with members of the Order of the Laurel in order to get feedback, assistance, or showcase their Arts and Sciences projects in a relaxed, but structured, event setting. There are no criteria to meet, no judging of projects, and no scoresheets. The TOA is also a way for artisans to gain word-fame for their research, craftsmanship, and ambition. 

REQUIREMENTS: 

• Open to all artisans of all skill levels. 
• No time limits on when a project has been started and/or completed.
• Documentation is a plus but is NOT required.
• Entrants are expected to have a fully realized project. This is not a brainstorming session to determine what type of project to begin or a working session to kick-start a project barely begun. The project need not be 100% completed, however it should be at a stage where Laurels can see the entrants skill level and offer suggestions to improve the project in some actionable fashion.
• The artisan needs to sign up by FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 2025.
• It is beneficial for the artisan to know what kind of feedback they would like during their consultation with the consulting Laurel. Some examples are:
  • An artisan might want help on how to improve their skill in their particular art, like how to make their embroidery stitches more consistent.
  • An artisan may have reached a point in their research or project where they are stuck, and would like some advice on how to proceed with the next steps.
  • It’s also okay to just show off your project, and be proud of your creation! Everyone loves to talk about their passion, and it’s likely that the artisan and the Laurel spend the whole session geeking out over the subject matter!

Laurels are also needed to provide feedback and geek out with the wonderful artisans!  Please, sign up by Friday, June 6, 2025.
