It seems that every month, judging the bardic and artisanal entries
keeps getting harder and harder. This time, there was a HUGE number of
bardic entries and selecting winners was extraordinarily difficult.
Also, now may be a good time to remind everyone that we judge upon those
entries that relate to Lusternia and give extra weight to how uniquely
Lusternian an entry is. A case in point is this month's artisanal
winner, Kaileigh's "Expecting Shadows", which is a portrait directly out
of current events. Also, we really do not want reproductions of other
artists, even if they are good artists like Boris Vallejo or Frank
Frazetto. Originals only please!
