Competitions: These are intended as a means for everyone to get their feet wet in entering competitions and for great fun! All winners will be determined by the acclaim of the populace and the discretion of the autocrat and Minister of Arts and Sciences for Nant-y-derwyddon.
Cooking contest: Fix a dish of your choice to share with the populace the feast. Our feast space is limited to 50 available spaces.

There will be some coleman stoves available for heating, first come, first served
