Greetings, performance artists of Aetherius!

The Serpent and Briar Society will be hosting a contest to find the best performer in the realms. To do so, we will be hosting a four round performing arts contest at the Scoundrels? Sanctuary in Caanae. Each round will feature a theme, but artists are otherwise free to express themselves fully.
Anyone who wishes to participate should mail a letter to me by a year from the time of this posting. The theme of the opening round is Desire.
The winner will receive a cash reward of 500,000 golden sovereigns and have the option to contract with the Serpent and Briar Society for an annual patronage of 50,000 golden sovereigns to encourage them to continue their craft. Other rewards are as follows:

Runner-up ? 100,000
Semifinalists ? 50,000
Quarterfinalists ? 25,000
Participation ? 10,000

Others who catch the eye of the Society may also be offered a contract, regardless of their placement.

The Society looks forward to seeing your creativity and spirit!

Lovingly yours,
Kabaal Lynne
