What if someone is going for awesome decoration on a plain vanilla cake? No science for decoration, just creativity which would then be art.

And if someone makes a pot of chili which pretty much looks like slop but has an excellent array of flavor due to correctly measured ingredients, it is a science, is it not?


Why does vision belong to the arts, but flavor to science?

because flavor is based off chemical arithmatic and not imaginative ingredients.

enough of my philosophy on food.

the categories are listed, food is an art and not a science no matter how many reasons i list. No Owls for Art. Dragons or Hydras for food.

Umm boss? Dragons for food ...Hydras for entering crown quals.;)

it's better to read the awards and what they are for then to split hairs over most of this IMO. and that is not aimed at you Connor.

The award descriptions are fairly clear. If I make a lovely chocolate cake and decorate it in a nice chainmaile pattern ..it isn't going to be judged as armor..it's still food and belongs in that catagory and IF said cake is award worthy ..it earns a dragon.

Is there a category for Website Design even if it isn't amtgard related? And for that matter, Graphic Design, or Animation even if they aren't amtgard related?

There can be a category for website design if there is enough interest in one, but be aware that if it isn't Amtgard related in some way it likely will have to be significantly better than any entry that is Amtgard related to even hope for the same score. Also the person entering it would have to provide the means of presenting the entry to the judges (such as the computer and the internet connection in the case of a website).

There are traditional exceptions to the Amtgard related clause, these are usually in the culinary arts and in non-fiction writing. Outside of these, I my experiences suggest it would be better to enter the work in question in a competition that is geared toward that type of work.

You have a couple of months, why not start working on something Amtgard related to enter into an Amtgard tournament?
