Cultura Atlantia is a platform to promote Their Majesties’ preferred time period. Cultura Atlantia may be held in the Spring and Summer at Coronation.
When new Heirs are in place following Crown Tournament, Their Highnesses will be consulted to select Their choice of persona and/or cultural theme for Their reign, if They so desire. They may decline to hold a Cultura Atlantia. If one is planned, the theme should be announced as soon as possible. This will ensure that interested artisans will have ample time to create their works. The Cultura Atlantia format may be for display only or a contest to determine the outstanding entry. It will then be held at Their Highnesses’ coronation in celebration of this theme. The newly enthroned will determine the winners based on criteria of Their choosing, and They may invite others to advise Them in Their selection, if They wish.
The Cultura Atlantia theme for the upcoming reign of Athos and Alianora involves:
In honor of Their Royal Highnesses Athos and Alianora, the theme for this Cultura will be “that which is embellished is most beauteous to behold.”
From the gem encrusted world of the Byzantine era to the sparkle of 14th century England, embellishments have elevated fashion to artwork throughout the centuries. To celebrate Their Coronation day, Their Highnesses request Atlantia’s artisans to show their finest examples of embellishments from any place or period within the SCA’s purview.
The winner will be chosen by Crown’s Choice. Documentation is encouraged!
