I am pleased to announce the results of the Bardic and Artisanal
contests for April! The body of work submitted this month was of very
high quality overall, making deciding on winners very difficult. As more
people begin to submit their work to the contests, please remember that
details count! Several otherwise excellent bardic works did not make the
list due to numerous spelling or grammatical errors, for example. Now,
the results:
