Queen's Prize Tournament April 18, 2026 Pierson C Queen's Prize Tournament
April 18, 2026

Pierson Community Center
1800 South 55th Street
Kansas City, KS 66106

Queen’s Prize Tournament is one of the big opportunities for the people in our Kingdom to show off the things they make and do. The easiest way to explain it to new members is that it is like an old style science fair where people can display and talk about their latest projects. This means people can walk around and talk to a variety of people working on different things. You can see what they are doing, learn about different areas of the Arts and Sciences being explored in the Kingdom and talk directly to the people doing the exploring.
You will see entries made by people of all ages and all skill levels. Some members of the SCA in Iowa will participate and take a drive down. Queen's Prize is a great first event for new members who would like to learn about history by making and doing, but this year’s event may be a bit too much of a drive for many of our newer members.
This is a one day event. People show up in the morning and the participants will arrange their displays at tables. Other people will walk around and look at the displays and talk to the entrants about their projects. There may be meetings on various topics held throughout the day as well.
There is a lunch inn to provide a simple meal without leaving the site. There will be a court in the late afternoon where announcements, awards and recognitions are presented.  The site opens at 8:30 AM and closes at 9:00 PM. 
Adult registration is $25, adult member registration is $15, Youth 17 and under is $5.
