+Held in the fall, **Queen's Prize Tourney** is one of two [[activities:Arts & Sciences:|Arts & Sciences]] display events in the Kingdom.
-A labour of love of Duchess [[Adrielle Kerrec]], with support from her household [[groups:households:House Arrochar]], Queen's Prize Tourney (QPT) was started around 2015 when [[activities:events:Kingdom Arts & Sciences]] was moved to the Spring. Sometimes bi-annual, QPT is a welcome opportunity to get together with the A&S community as the Kingdom heads into Winter.
+A labour of love of Duchess Adrielle Kerrec with support from her household [[groups:households:House Arrochar]], Queen's Prize Tourney (QPT) began in 2015 when [[activities:events:Kingdom Arts & Sciences]] was moved to the Spring. Occurring roughly biannually, QPT is a welcome opportunity to get together with the Arts & Sciences community as the Kingdom heads into Winter.
 =====Description=====
+QPT offers artisans who have not yet achieved the grant level award in arts & sciences the opportunity to display an arts & sciences project for feedback and networking purposes. Entrants must have a "sponsor" who is a either member of the [[awards: Order of the Crucible]] or the [[awards: Order of the Laurel]]. Both the entrant and the sponsor are encouraged to attend the event in person.

+QPT welcomes all projects, whether they are complete, in progress, or perhaps not what the artist had hoped. Experienced artists and artisans (sometimes called "judges") meet with the entrant to discuss the project including methodology, what went well, what can be improved, and to possibly provide advice on how to improve or solve a particular challenge.
