Information

Location:	Dreiburgen
Date:	2018 - current

The Tortoise Challenge is an Arts & Sciences competition that celebrates dedication and improvement in newly learned topics. Named after Aesop's fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, this takes place in two parts.

1. The Hare Competition: entrants submit their first effort in an art or craft they began learning within three months before the event. Winning honors for the Hare Competition go to the best first attempt.

2. The Tortoise Competition: the previous year's Hare entrants submit their best work in the same art or craft. Winning honors go the most improved artisan.

The Hare Competition is open to all new learners. Tortoise Competition entrants must have competed in the previous year's Hare Competition.

All Hare entries are photographed for reference purposes and hosted in the gallery below.

The Tortoise Challenge is held at Dreiburgen Anniversary each year. It was created in 2018 by Dreiburgen's Arts and Sciences Officer Agnes Wurtman.

Event Information

The event is run in two parts:

The first year people are encouraged to submit their attempts at a craft they are just starting, asking for feedback.
Those who participate in that stage of the challenge will be eligible to participate in round 2 the next year, where they will be judged on their improvement of the same craft.

The Challenge is judged by people's choice.
