HISTORICAL MEADS

This is a category was introduced in MEADLLENNIUM 2007.

·        If you belong to the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), and have entered mead in their Science and Craft competitions, this will be familiar ground to you.

·        If you prefer to make your meads with ancient recipes and techniques – this category is for you.

 

A special “THANK YOU” goes out to the SCA for their help in creating this category. And we ask your patience and cooperation as we work through the growing pains associated with implementing this new step in the evolution of MEADLLENNIUM. If you have any ideas, criticisms or suggestions for the future, please contact us at: MEAD@cfhb.org

 

For MEADLLENNIUM 2008 there will be one GOLD, one SILVER and one BRONZE medal awarded for this category. In the future, if this proves to be a popular category, there could be Traditional, Melomel and Other Mead medals awarded in this category.

 

There is a special ENTRY FORM for this category that consists of two pages.

 

·        They are available in Adobe® PDF and are found on the ENTRY FORMS page.

 

·        The first is very similar to the entry form for all the other categories.  It has Meadmaker information as well as information on the Mead entry. This will be kept in the Registrars file with all of the other entries.

 

·                The second page has the same Mead entry information PLUS information on the HISTORICAL culture and/or time period, techniques and ingredients. There is no Meadmaker information on this page and it will be kept in a separate file for the judges - if they should ask for more information.

 

·                We are requiring that you place your mead into the same sub-categories used for the rest of the competition so we can judge your mead with similar styles of mead. Traditional meads will be judged against other Traditional meads; Melomels will be judged against other Melomels; Braggots will be judged against other Braggots, etc.

 

You may register electronically, BUT YOU MUST attach the special ENTRY FORM to your entry.

 

All other ENTRY REQUIREMENTS are the same.

 

Cost:

 Still $6.00 per entry - just like all other entries.
