A&S Siege



Arts & Science Siege — Rules

Each participant will get a bag of craft items. Each bag will have the similar basic items but colors may vary. You may use any or all of the items in your bag to make one project. You may NOT add any items that are not in your bag. You MAY attach your supplies together using GLUE, THREAD, or WIRE (some will be provided). You may alter the items in your bag (carve, break, cut, etc) and sew, tie, glue, etc. them together.

The competition is to see how creative different people can be with the same supplies. Participants may work alone or in small groups; but only one bag of craft items and one prize for the group. You may work at your camp, the Crafting Camp will have tables set up where you can work with glue, sewing and cutting supplies.

If you participate you are HONOR-BOUND to create a project according to the rules above. You get to keep your project. You may pick it up after court on Saturday. There are four categories and some prizes will be awarded. Child (up to 12 years), Teen (13 to 20 years), Young adult (21 to 35), Experienced Adult (35 and up). One grand prize will be awarded. Projects are judged by a score sheet, not against each other. In the event of a tie, straws will be drawn.

Your bag of supplies may be picked up at the A&S Classroom beginning Wednesday night. The finished project must be turned in at the Craft Room no later than 2:00 pm on Saturday. Please return unused craft items so they can be used next year. There are only thirty bags. If you decide not to make a project please return the bag as soon as possible so that another person can use it.
