Information about Queen's Prize/King's Choice Winter 2023:

The theme for this competition is Winter Stag, or any combination of that. 

Their Royal Majesties Jaxx and Anna are trying something new this time for the Queen’s Prize, ADDING King’s Choice!!! 

Per Her Majesty’s requests: 

Queen’s Prize/ King’s Choice is open to anyone of all ages.   If you have ever won a queen’s prize, Her Majesty simply asks that you not enter with the same medium you won in previously.   

The item you choose to enter must be completed within the last year. 

Sponsors; A Lady of the Rose, a Laurel, or a Flower are encouraged for support in advising and helping the entrant.   

Sponsors DO NOT NEED TO BE present with the entrants during the contest. Sponsors do NOT need to purchase a “gift” for the person they sponsor (unless they wish to). 

 A Sponsor may have more than one entrant for the competition. If you do sponsor more than one person, please let me know so that a list can be made so that the “with entrant” is covered. 

No new documentation or format is needed to enter! 

Minimum documentation is needed, your name, what you made, why you made it and how you made it, your contact information and that of your sponsor as well. EZ-DOC: The Form That Writes Documentation For You (larsdatter.com) 

Deadline to enter is December 23rd 2022 MIDNIGHT 

I can be reached at: elizabethbakere@gmail.com to send your information for registration for Queen’s Prize/King’s Choice. Questions are also welcomed. 

I will need your mundane name, SCA name, what you are making, and a way to contact you (a telephone number is good as well). 

I also will need how much space you think you shall need for your item. A whole table. Half ½ etc. If you have a folding table and a chair, please do bring those. If you have a very large item such as a tent… let me know that as well. 

The information you send to me will be your entry into the Queen’s Prize/King’s choice only. You will still need to do registration for the actual event itself. 

Elizabeth Bakere, Queen's Prize Deputy
