(573) Annual Video contest has degenerated to a promotional event of the SOF

The Shakespeare Fellowship originally 

was the name used by an organization (1921) devoted to 

represent all alternatives to the Authorship Question 

of William Shakespeare 

Unfortunately  it later became exclusively identified with the Oxfordian theory: promoting Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, 

as the only possible or thinkable author of the works of Shakespeare. 

____________

The original  idea and organisation must today be recognized  as 

"The Shakespearean Authorship Trust".(SAT).

In 2013, Shakespeare Fellowship (SF)  merged with the Shakespeare Oxford Society (SOS) to become the "Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship". (SOF)

The Annual Video Contest "Who wrote Shakespeare?" taking place for 3 years now, (2017/2018/2019) has largely degenerated to a promotional event of the S O F.

(572) It's not be expected that Marlowian Video Contest contributions get any acceptable ranking by SOF !

The Title Head of the The Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship (SOF) Website declares openly and outright that it explores the evidence that the literary works credited to the man from Stratford-upon-Avon were actually written by Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, using the pen name, "William Shakespeare."

In 2020 it organizes the

 Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship’s Fourth Annual

“Who Wrote Shakespeare?” 

Video Contest

                                                ( click Winners List)!!

Videos must be a maximum of 3 minutes in length and must present an issue that promotes reasonable doubt about the traditional attribution of the Shakespeare works. Videos must be predominantly in the English language and must be submitted by July 20, 2020.

As has been frighteningly demonstrated  (Blog 570) , it cannot primarily be expected that Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship ( SOF) will award a Video contribution   only committed to the Oxford Idea. This would otherwise cut SOF Community off its own branch on which it sits.

(571) The Philosophy of SOF. Isn’t it about time, to develop a more honest attitude?

Isn't it time to abandon the dishonest "package" (A+B) 

of the SOF community and admit, that the primary goal of SOF 

is not to promote the (yet undecided) Shakespeare authorship issue, but to  enforce the respectable, but most likely wrong evidence of Edward de Vere's (the Earl of Oxford's) authorship?

Thor Ewing 

...... and that not the " third prize“

represents a more outstanding achievement? ______________________________ 2 Questions A Why the decision-making process about how the awarding (composition and members of the Jury, criteria, etc.) came about so far, has remained totally in the dark ? B Can anyone understand why suddenly in the fourth year of the video contest people from France, Denmark and Germany were allowed to take part in the competition? (What About Austria and Switzerland?)
