As this is an anniversary year for the Joust event, as well as a transition to “Gem” joust as the ongoing theme after several decades of rotating gems, we will be hosting an open display of SCA Historical Artifacts - Arts, awards, and notable items, particularly inviting folks to bring Atlantian and Caer Mear Historical items to display. We would also particularly request, if you have been the recipient of a Gen Prize from ANY prior joust, that you display your prize, to showcase the talents of fighters and artisans of years gone by. 

Upon registration for the competition (beginning Friday night May 23 at 6pm) each entrant will be provided with a “secret ingredient” (required) and will be informed of the theme of the competition (not required). Each entry must incorporate the secret ingredient, but can otherwise use any of the scribes’ own tools and materials. Each Entrant will have from 7pm Friday until 2pm Saturday to complete their entry. Bonus points for thematic entries. The documentation to be omitted from scoring
