Only one area of Kingdom A&S still remains a competition, and that is the Pentathlon.

The pentathlon requires that you enter five categories in three different divisions with no more than two categories from any one division. Only five entries will be considered. No item can be entered in two categories. Furthermore, there may not be two items from any one category.

These entries are judged with the other entries to be commented on and then they are brought before a panel of previous pentathlon winners. Each entrant gets a few moments to comment on their entries and have questions put to them and then the winner is selected based on the quality and the breadth of their work.

(Note: Much of the above text was taken from Ealdormere’s A&S Handbook)

The pentathlon requires that you enter five categories in three different divisions with no more than two categories from any one division. Only five entries will be considered. If you enter ten items we will not pick the best five: that is your job. Also, no item can be entered in two categories. Furthermore, there may not be two items from any one category.
