Commonalities
Things common to all A&S displays, however formal.
Before the Event
- Lay out the display. Take a picture of it. Change something, and repeat at least three times. Bring your pics along while setting up at the event.
At the Event
- Small largess pieces for things that you find particularly impressive.
- Business cards are very helpful.
Laurel's Prize Tourney
For the Display:
- Some "terracing" to keep it from just lying flat.
- One copy of the documentation should be more than enough.
For the Artisan:
- A notepad and pen. People will say things you'll want to remember. Also, keep a record of inspiration as it hits.
- Portable snackie things and wet wipes. Depending on the site, you may not have space to move around much at all.
Kingdom Arts and Sciences
For the Display:
- Terracing is King. More verical is more better.
- Three copies of the documentation - two for your two judges, and one for the table. More detail is better, if it's well-organized.
For the Artisan:
- Something to do all day since it's Verboten to hover over your display once time is called.
Gulf Wars Open Arts and Sciences
For the Display:
- One copy of the documentation is more than enough - primarily Populace Vote. Shorter is better.
- Think in terms of "flashy" and "easily comprehensible" - A poster-board display plus tools, examples, and other props are good.
For the Artisan:
- Bring/drink water. It's hot and dusty at War.
- It's suggested that you stay around in case people have questions on your work, but you don't have to.
Local Group A&S, Judged
For the Display:
- One or two copies of the documentation - think: one for the judge to take and one to leave on the table.
For the Artisan:
