At last... A.M.E.'s very first Event!

**CONTEST CLOSED**

Finally, what I'm sure you've all been waiting for... an Allegiance Middle-earth Event! These will have a dead-line for the end of the month in which they are issued, but will not be monthly.

Your Challenge...

To make a "The Hobbit" or "The Lord of the Rings" inspired craft using leaves! Get out there and find your favorite colorful fall leaves and design a masterpiece! It can be anything: as long as it's inspired by "The Hobbit" or "The Lord of the Rings" and involves those beautiful leaves! Your craft will be judged on creativity and your utilization of leaves.

Requirements/Important Notes:

1. You must be an A.M.E. member to submit an entry. If you aren't, click here to join the Allegiance! It's easy and free!

2. Your submission must include your membership name. By submitting an entry, you agree to have the image of your craft (which you will attach to the entry) associated with your membership name posted publicly on the A.M.E. website.

3. The craft involves the use of fall leaves. These will preferably be real, but if you want your art to last (or live in a climate where you don't have access to fall leaves) store-bought faux leaves are permitted.

4. It must be inspired by "The Hobbit" or "The Lord of the Rings". Your submission must include how the craft relates to either. Example: "My craft is of _______ and was inspired by ________ from __________."

5. Submissions may be sent to: allegianceofmiddleearth@gmail.com

6. There is ONE winner. However, I do plan on posting all entries.

7. Entries per person are unlimited.

8. Due to this being A.M.E.'s first event, there is no prize except for bragging rights. I hope to have tangible prizes in the future!
