The new year has begun, and the frost giant has already made himself known. Will Ymir be frozen again? Time will tell, but it’s always best to be prepared with your very own set of warm woolies! To this end, we invite you to enter the “Long Ships and Long Johns” Arts and Science competition at Ymir XXXVII. Enter any item that was created recently, in a Scandinavian style, designed to keep chills and frostbite at bay. Examples of possible entries include hats, mittens, coats, pants, boots, socks. Appropriate accompanying documentation is required.
Space will be available to set up projects, and we'd love to have a variety of artwork on display.
To get you started, please visit the following links:
