The Knowne World Courtesans invite you to get in touch with your naughty side in this competition all about the “queynte!” Share your A&S projects featuring magnificent muffs, comical coochies, splendid snatches, hilarious hoohahs, bawdy boxes, eclectic clams, fascinating fannies, yonis of yore… you get the idea! 😉
Categories:
🦫 Vaginyms: How many slang terms – modern and/or historical – for the quim can you use in your project?
🕳️ Minge Science: This category is for entries focusing on period sciences relating to the quim. Entries can be about anything from “proto-gynecology” to inventions like pessaries, yoni steam pots, barrier contraceptives, etc
🥑 Clam Digging: For art that hides one or more quims in plain sight, e.g. as a fruit or vegetable, a mythical creature, a cloud formation, or a topiary
From 11am-1pm, entrants are encouraged but not required to be present to present performing arts pieces and/or answer questions about their entries. All entrants will be provided with optional blank feedback sheets to set out if they wish. Past projects (i.e. projects made for purposes other than this competition) are welcome. Each entry may only be entered in one category.
The competition may be entered in absentia, provided the entrant designates a proxy responsible for dropping off and picking up their project and, if applicable, accepting the prize on their behalf.
Winners will be selected by populace vote, and each winner will receive a fabulous spicy prize!
Please join us for refreshments between 3pm and 4pm, when votes will be tallied and winners announced. For those unable to be present, the SCA names of the winners will be posted on the KWC Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KnowneWorldCourtesans. On site winners unable to attend can provide their camp name and section if they would like us to deliver their prize. Off site winners can contact us at knowneworldcourtesans@gmail.com to make arrangements for delivery of their prize.
