Argent Aspis' 21st Annual Bardfest

[GS4-Seomanthe]

This July, the House of the Argent Aspis will be hosting the 21st Annual Bardfest!

Aspis' longstanding annual celebration of Elanthian culture and creativity will run from July 11th through 13th, and conclude with the finals on July 18th. All aspiring performers are encouraged to pre-register to ensure that you get a coveted performance slot in Elanthia’s oldest festival. Please register here: https://goo.gl/jwvdHO

Everyone is a bard at heart - Share your performance art at Bardfest this year! This year is especially exciting, the year Bardfest is finally old enough to drink!

Our Grand Prize will be 10 million silvers, and the winner's name will be inscribed for all time on the Bardfest Trophy on display in the Wehnimer's Landing museum, alongside all our illustrious and talented past winners.

Runners-up will receive comparable sums, and we're also planning a special winner's celebration after the festival. All attendees are ensured several evenings of the best entertainment Elanthia has to offer!

See our Bardfest Rules for details on how performances are judged. If you have any questions about Bardfest, the rules, or anything else, please do not hesitate to post here or seek out an Aspis officer.

Please also look out for our Bardfest raffles and Roar into Bardfest events which we’ll be announcing closer to the event!

And before that, join House Aspis on Monday 6/7 and Friday 6/17 at 10:30pm Eastern to Roar into Bardfest!

On 6/6, help the sibs of Argent Aspis piece together a treasured old book that somehow met a messy end before Aurien finds out! All we have left are the pictures, we need your help to fill in the story!

On 6/17, whet your muse's appetite with our ever-popular Thirty Minute Thespians! We'll provide the theme and a prop, you provide the story! All participants will be given a random prop, then we'll announce the theme, and you'll then have 30 minutes to dream up a short sketch (5 minutes or less) to present to the group!
