This Year's Kingdom Eisteddfod will decide who shall be called the next Premier Bard of Ansteorra. The format will be three rounds long, with the third round reserved for three finalists.
- Round One will be your best, your strongest piece, whatever you think really lets you shine.
- Round Two will feature a Return of the Box of Doom, but this year with a slight change. Instead of topics, this year's box will be filled with emotions and moods. The box may ask for tragedy or patriotism or comedy, who knows what you will draw?
- Round Three will be for the three chosen Finalists. They will be expected to give us a piece to honor the hospitality of Dragonsfire Tor, in any vocal form they choose.

We will have our A&S completion run by our current champion HL. Vincinzo Cellini. Entrants may have 1-3 items, but one of them needs to be the "focus". The "focus" will need documentation.
Our famous raffle will be run by none other than the Olde Phoole himself Crandall. Please bring SCA or period appropriate donations for the raffle.
In addition we will have our table decorating contest and banner competition. Capture the eye of our judges and win the prize. Tables are approx. 2 ½' by 6'. Some tables are a little larger and some are smaller. (Candles with flame OK.)
And last but never least a potluck dinner to be shared by all. Bring your favorite dish to share, should feed 8-10 people. Feast gear not provided. To let all know what dish you will bring, go here.
