Crown Challenge

When:
Saturday before Feast at Endreign/Coronation (exact time TBA)

Where:
Endreign/coronation

Why:
While the efforts to recover the Kingdom's heirloom crowns will not be dropped, it would be wonderful to not only have crowns available when the current ones are being maintenanced, but also to have crowns available that are made by the populace of the Kingdom.

What:
Crowns!
A challenge to the populace to create crowns/regalia for the Kingdom's Monarch and Regent.
Those that choose to enter this challenge will do so with the intent of donating them to the Kingdom as new heirlooms to be available as choices for the Monarch and Regent for their reign, for different events, for the park visits, and the various times and places that they should be wearing them.


Travel Crowns
Feast/Court Crowns
Any of the regalia appropriate to a Monarch or Regent

Allow yourself to think outside the box. A crown does not have to be a creation from a jeweler's or a blacksmith's shop... there are many ways of creating crowns that include, but are in no way limited to, wirewrapping techniques, beading, sewing, and more. For inspiration one could look at theatrical costuming and props, research historical crowns, browse fantasy artworks, again, let yourself out of the box for this. And regalia is an open book/blank canvas, as well. This could be anything from chains of state on through to travel thrones, high table feast gear, wax seals bearing the heraldry of the Kingdom, robes, whatever you think a Monarch or Regent should have or have available to represent the populace while they occupy these offices.



The challenge is on!





If at all possible, entries should include an appropriate storage box, in that box should be the name and a way to contact the creator of the crown/item in the event of maintenance or repairs being needed.

In addition to any other awards that are given for this challenge, the donated items will be photographed and logged into an inventory of things available to the Crown for use during their reigns. This inventory will be made accessible via the Kingdom's website.

What would be either an average "crown" ( like hat) size for this ...or an actual size for the 2 of you? Would be good to have crowns that fit ;)

A measurement that seems to be common is 8 inch diameter unpadded, and adjusted down to as small as 6.5 inches by padding/lining them inside the base round.


And keep in mind, this is to be held at Endreign, so there is no expectation that King Alby or myself will actually get to wear them beyond seeing how they feel for a moment while choosing the ones that we feel are our top picks.

These are for the Kingdom as heirlooms, not the current King and the Princess.
