Could you also do me the favor of posting this notice to your Baronial list?

"The Royal University of the Midrealm proudly presents "Picture Perfect - An
Arts and Sciences Competition." Interested artisans will bring to Fall RUM 2010
an object or set of objects based on a period artwork. That artwork may be a
painting, illumination, engraving, woodcut, sculpture, or other piece of visual
art of the entrant's choice. The object of the competition is to recreate
elements from that artwork that resemble the reference image as closely as
possible. This could include a costume, foods from a still life, heraldic
banners from an illuminated battle scene, or anything that can be found in a
period artwork.
For your entry you will need to bring a copy of your reference image - as large
and as high quality an image as you can manage. Please mount it in a frame or on
a small piece of foam board with a stand so that it may be displayed with your
entry. The entry may consist of one or more objects that are related to the
image. Minimum documentation will be the reference image, but more points will
be awarded for more documentation. It would also be helpful to include what
objects you have made, the methods that were used, material choices, any
substitutions you made from period practice and why, and what you might do
differently if you were to do it again.
Come help create a "living gallery" at RUM 2010! Questions? Please contact THL
