Hail citizens of Sapience, next year will be 597 AF which is the
fiftieth anniversary of the Ordo Incensus Arboris. The clan is going to
hold a couple contests. Anyone who wishes to participate may do so. The
start of the celebrations will be on the first of Sarapin 597 AF and
last for the duration of the entire year. Make sure you submit any works
directly to Archbishop Tiamat. For fair warning, any late pieces of work
will not be accepted. The following are the two events which are open to
anyone, as well as the respective prizes.

Painting event: Where you can submit your art work which will be added
to the new gallery within the Nimick Estate which is the OIA
headquarters. Work will be judged by the high ranking members of the
Clan. Prize will be that the winning painting will be submitted, and on
approval it will be made permanent and be added in the Nimick Estate
gallery. A sum of 150,000 gold will also be awarded to the winner.

A clothing/jewelry event: Where you can submit your ideas for a special
item which will become official OIA apparel. The winner will have to
donate the piece to the OIA in order to claim their prize. However, in
return one will be made for the winner and also be made permanent. If
the winner fails to donate the piece of work for any reason, they will
be disqualified. Along with the winning item being made permanent for
the winner, a sum of 150,000 gold will also be awarded to the winner.

Best of luck to all participants.

Penned by my hand on the 14th of Daedalan, in the year 596 AF.
