The Jongleur Laureate competition is held twice a year, currently at Kingdom Art-Sci and Trimaris Royal University. Brief documentation of the piece you perform, noting a particular time, place, author and title, will be required to determine eligibility of the entrants but will not be used to judge performance and thus the victor of this competition.
​
An example of acceptable Documentation for this Performance Assessed Competition:
(For this competition - No more is required. No full fledged paper. Just a siting of where you found the period piece, who wrote it when/where, and the title - as, even long gone, we give credit where credit is due <3 ) ________________________________________________
