November Coronation A&S Results

I am delighted to share with you the results of the Kingdom Arts and Sciences Competition held at November Coronation, A.S. 58, in Rowany.

The competition had nine entries.

We were blessed with the dedicated service of a team of judges, who gave many hours of their time to provide thoughtful feedback to the entrants. For this event, our judges were: Mistress Rowan Perigrynne, Lady Katerina Cuylter of Lancastre, Lady Magdalena af Husum and Lady Ran Njalldottir.

Everything was co-ordinated by the marvellous Katerina Cuylter, without whose great efforts, the competition would not have been possible.

Three cheers, for all those who judged and managed the competition!
