Virtual Heralds Point

The SCA College of Arms will be holding a Virtual Heralds Point from August 8-22. In addition, the weekend of August 14-15 will include a Zoom event where we will have heralds and artists standing by live to help submitters in real time.

Submitters are invited to sign up for consultations, and will be paired with consulting heralds who can work with the submitter over email, Facebook, Zoom, or other platform as needed. Electronic payments will be accepted.

All submitters must pre-register in order to participate. Please fill out the form once per individual submitter.

Notes:

PayPal invoices will be emailed for submissions following the conclusion of the event. Submissions will be transferred to each kingdom after the event.

The full registration process will take up to 9 months, which includes time for commentary at the kingdom and Society levels, decision writing, proofreading, etc. Please contact your local herald or kingdom Submissions Herald for questions pertaining to the status of your submission.

Submitters

Please pre-register using the form at https://forms.gle/cVipu3RsX3DT4PtVA. Sign-ups are only open until August 5.

We will initially contact each submitter by email to notify them who they will be working with or to ask follow-up questions. Please add virtualhpclerk@gmail.com to your contacts and be sure to check your spam folder during the event.

There will be a delay in pairing submitters with their heralds, and once started, the full consultation may take a few days due to the nature of the submission and method of communication. We recommend providing a mobile phone number so we can text if all other communication methods fail. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Volunteers

We need consulting heralds, clerks, Zoom moderators, and artists. We will be using the same forms program that is used at Pennsic and the winter VHP. Training and mentoring will be available for those who need it.

Please sign up using the form at https://forms.gle/rmd3VVMmaGSPhMRr5.

Due to the tight schedule, all volunteers and staff are requested to collaborate using the VHP Discord server, although there are opportunities for those without Discord to participate during the Zoom event.
