Greetings, friends!

This month, the golden side is hosting a contest! The plans for it have been tucked away in a small, dusty room now for some time. I was digging through some old maps, and papers the other day when I came across the yellowed, creased pages, and realised just how long it had been waiting on me putting the plans into action.

Okay….Maybe they’re not that old. But it has been planned for some time. We’re finally ready to run it.
The Holy Worlds Historical Fiction forum is hosting an Art Contest. It’s exclusive to the HF forum, so yes you must be a member to enter. Basically, you have to register to HWHF, to join in with the contest. So come on, what are you waiting for! Register today. :D

The contest will run from the 2nd of October, to the 23rd of October. So that’s three weeks that you have to work on the many pieces I know you’re all going to submit. *Smiles*

The rules are explained on this thread.

Prizes: Each category will have a winner and a runner up. Only the winner of the category will receive a prize. Then the judges will also choose a Contest Winner. The Prizes will be an Historical themed wallpaper, made by our very own BushMaid.

Your judges are: Lady Katharina Mimetes, Sienna N. Mimetes, and Lady Elanor Mimetes.

Come and join in! You will have me ready with my poking stick if you don’t!

Contest results are to be posted on the blog on Saturday! :)

Sorry judging has taken longer than normal. It was hard to find a time when all judges could be together, as each one was from a different time zone. So we ended up working through PM with it, which took a little longer. :)

Airi's submissions were very rushed and not at all stellar, due to travelling. :) Everyone has a fair shot!
