In just about two weeks, the House of the Argent Aspis will be hosting the 16th Annual Bardfest! Aspis' longstanding celebration of Elanthian culture and creativity runs from Koaratos 12th through 14th (7/12-14), and concludes with the finals on Koaratos 18th. This is a reminder to get your notices of intent to Ahmeuseng soon so that performance scheduling can be finalized in time! Please send them as soon as possible to Bardfest16@hotmail.com

Everyone has a story to tell, a song in their hearts, and a poem in their eyes-- Share your performance art at Bardfest this year! Argent Aspis has been proud and honored to host this event for the past sixteen years, and we invite you to become a part of one of the longest-running tales in Elanthia.

Our Grand Prize will be ten million silvers, and the winner's name will be inscribed for all time on the Bardfest Trophy on display in the Wehnimer's Landing museum, alongside all our past winners.

Runners-up will receive comparable sums and in addition, Argent Aspis has commissioned a master artisan to craft a special gift to award to the Best New Voice! All attendees are ensured several evenings of the best entertainment Elanthia has to offer.
