Inspired by my friends in the Consulate of Europa Wulfenbach, I wish to announce a CONTEST for best hat. Because, of course, one can never have too many hats.
Two competitive divisions:
Tipjar hats
- 30 points for ostentation
- 30 for cleverness of thank you reply
- 30 for special effects
- 10 at judges’ discretion
- Please note that points will be deducted for tipjar hats deemed unusable.
Hats to wear
- 30 points for ostentation
- 30 for versatility
- 30 for special effects
- 10 at judges’ discretion
- Please note that points will be deducted for hats deemed easily lost (because, of course, any plan where you lose your hat is a bad plan.)
- Hats should be gender-role-free
- Two classes: Tiny and Tall
To enter
Hats should be named “tipjar – contestant name,” “tiny – contestant name,” or “tall – contestant name” and dropped on the judges, Otenth Paderborn, Frau Annechen Lowey, and Baron KlausWulfenbach Outlander, no later than Friday, October 10. Entries should be copiable, and in the case of hats to wear, modifiable, but need not be transferable. Contestants may enter in multiple classes.
Winners
Winners will be announced here and at an event to be held Saturday, October 11 (12-2pm SLT at the Wyre Fairgrounds; winner need not be present to win). Cash prizes will be awarded:
- L$ 1000 to highest scoring tipjar

- L$ 1000 to highest scoring wearable hat for talls
- L$ 1000 to contestant with highest combined total score
