Congratulations to the winners of the 2008 Northern Lights Pentathlon!

First Place: Reyne Wurm
Second Place: Janet Kempe
Third Place: Sof'ia Serafiomskaia

Populous Choice: Tiberivs Jvlivs Rvfvs
Pent Co-Coordinator's Choice: Omelan

Entrants, Judges, and event staff braved a snow storm to participate in this year's Northern Lights.  Competition for the top three places was incredibly fierce (each only differing by a few decimal points).  This year's coveted prizes were enameled by Lord Tristan de Warrell and scrolls for all categories illuminated by Lord Robert of Stonemarche with Duchess Katherine Stanhope illuminating the top three prize scrolls.

Thank you to the shire of Glenn Linn for hosting this event (and for providing an exceptional sideboard that ate like a feast!) and to all who volunteered to help at this event.  

And without further ado, the category winners are:

(Please note that in the instance of single entries in a category, scrolls are awarded.  However, those entrants will have an opportunity to re-enter that category in future competitions. Rowan will contact each of the solo entrants privately.  All solo entrants should be commended for competing in a category that no one else braved that day.)
