Ever wondered what it takes to enter ? or even judge ? an Arts and Sciences competition in the SCA? This class offers an overview of how A&S competitions work at all levels, from local displays to Kingdom Championships. We?ll explore the different types of entries, documentation expectations, judging formats, and what distinguishes a showcase from a formal competition. Whether you?re a first-time entrant or looking to refine your presentation, you?ll leave with practical insight into how your creative work can shine within the SCA?s vibrant arts community. https://www.facebook.com/share/1YUmQr8h5N/ Although the SCA complies with all applicable laws to ensure the health and safety of our event participants, we cannot eliminate the risk of exposure to infectious diseases during in-person events. By participating in the in-person events of the SCA, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks. You agree to take any additional steps to protect your own health and safety and those under your control as you believe to be necessary.
