Lusitaníadas II - Now It's Personal
.
Gather 'round, young travellers, for today we declare open season in regards to interregional competitions...
These next few categories will comprise some of the most difficult challenges a creative mind can encounter in their journey through the land of yonder (for legal reasons Wonderland was not available).
This competition, the Lusitaníadas, will be a testament to the bonds that link Portugal to some of its most important allies: Europe, European Union and last, but definitely least, Suns Reach.
We hope to have a great turnout from other regions as well and want to lead this competition to a very successful conclusion, in which we (our judges) will determine the best works of art and creativity, so that we can properly sacrifice the relevant artists to the Creator: Piatinum bees.
Now, fellow nations of these NationStates, let us begin this race for the ultimate prize of establishing primacy amongst the art nerds!
