Greetings from your kingdom Competitions Deputy! May Crown approaches, and so does the latest installment of Tempore Atlantia!
We welcome everyone to submit entries that fit within the current time period – 1000 – 1350 CE. As always, both competition and open display options are available.
Questions? Please contact Baronesa Beatriz Aluares de la Oya, Kingdom Competitions Deputy at competitions@moas.atlantia.sca.org
Tempore Atlantia
The Tempore Atlantia is a contest to determine the best entry for one of four time periods. For more information on Tempore Atlantia, please see the Competitions page here: https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/tempore-atlantia/
Judging forms and discipline-specific rubrics can be found here: https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/judging-and-event-forms/
EZ Docs documentation forms can be found here: http://www.larsdatter.com/ezdoc/
The contest time period rotates among:
- Prehistory-1000 AD
- 1000 AD-1350 AD
- 1350 AD-1500 AD
- 1500 AS-1600 AD
The contest is traditionally held three times a year at Kingdom 12th Night and Spring and Fall Crown Tournament.
Individuals may bring as many items as they wish to participate in a Tempore Atlantia exhibition. The only criteria will be that those items be from the time period being highlighted at that particular event. We hope that the Kingdom’s Laurels, Pearls, and others will make it a regular part of their event day to visit the display area and perhaps leave comments and/or tokens for participants.
If you want to participate but are unable to do so in person or have someone bring your entry to the event, please contact the Contests Deputy and the Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences. We will try to accommodate you with an online option.
Entrants will be able to mark their items as “non-competitive” (display-only) if they choose.
Historical Note: Tempore Atlantia was started at the Fall Coronation of 2002 by the Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences. Originally, the event took place at Crown Tournaments, Coronations, and 12th Night. In 2016, this was reduced to only Crown Tournaments in order to allow for greater diversity in Kingdom-level contests. In 2019, Kingdom 12th Night was returned to the line up in order to have the time periods rotate throughout the year. Also, time periods were adjusted slightly to better match major shifts in medieval culture
