This contest will take place Saturday, with the winner(s) announced
Saturday evening at Shire Moot. We will be accepting ballots for
Populace' Choice and Judge's Choice.
Your dragon can be in literally ANY medium; for those deciding the
contest, it's frequently like comparing kumquats to fir trees to
wolverines. We've seen everything from archery targets to sculpture to
kites to food to...you name it! Be creative and have fun with the theme!

explanation, by all means include it. If you have any questions, please
e-mail Mistress Arlys at
Cley(at)juno.com

If during the wake for
Ciaran, you would like to take pictures, video or capture some of
the music, etc. in any medium, I would love to have it for the
memorial page being composed for the DM website.
I would prefer submissions of stories emailed as a text file,
images - video - audio, burned on a disk. (although I can handle
using a scanner for physical pictures if I have to). If that's
outside your technical skills, let me know and we'll see if we can
work something out.
Thanks,
Cara Dea
