Your dragon can be in literally ANY medium; for those
deciding the contest, it’s frequently like comparing kumquats
to fir trees to wolverines. We’ve seen everything from
archery targets to sculpture to kites to food to…you name
it! Be creative and have fun with the theme! 😀

some
explanation, by all means include it. If you have any
questions, please e-mail Mistress Arlys at

The bardic will run again this year we are looking for the
