just a though, as I dont know how detailed and how much work you want to put into this...but since it is a chance to show off your work I am assuming a lot of work. So how about one of those castles on top of a cake that looks like a winding mountain and if you are good at molding a knight on a steed going up the cobblestone road that winds around the mountain?
edited to add:
ooohh...or what about borrowing advens ( i think) jester in a box kinda idea...maybe just doing the jester?
airie...the OLD/Middle English word for "air"
(think Chaucer...remember his Cantebury Tales?)
a fanciful mispelling of aerie (noun)
Definitions:
1. bird of prey's nest: the nest of an eagle or other bird of prey, usually built in a high inaccessible place
2. secure building: a building, especially a stronghold, in a high inaccessible place
[15th century. Via medieval Latin aeria < Old French airie < Latin area "level ground"]
(leave it to an English teacher!!!!)
I did a cake for my daughter's birthday (but unfortunately cannot find a decent picture of it anywhere), where I covered a round cake with white fondant. Then I marbled "clouds" with blue, placed them on the cake and painted silver stars randomly. For a cake topper, I molded a castle out of white chocolate. It looked really cool -- I got the idea from a show on he Food Network about Disney wedding cakes.
Don't bother trying to find a 3-d castle candy mold, though. It would seem they don't exist. So I just made do with an extra large mold.
Good luck!
I don't know if this helps but every year they do a renaissance festival where I live. It runs for a month and every weekend is a different theme. One of the most popular things they do is a living chess match. they also do jousting, jesters running around, dragons. How about making a cake like a catapolt. I hope this helps
There's some cool stuff in the gallery here. I especially like the shield down at the bottom of this page. Simple but very cool. I'd take that one to a ren faire myself.

So maybe a castle in the sky?
yep...and my favorite is Newschwanstein in S. Germany.
been there....an amazing castle in an amazing place!
It's even more impressive on the inside 
Thank you Doug for the information and amazing to see that you all know Neuschwannstein. I haven´t been there yet, but it´s one my list for this years summer vacation.
Back to the topic: Maybe a castle on a big, fluffy cloud with lots of colorfull flags in the windows, dressed for a turney.

yep...let's just say his interior is a way over the top (like the swan grotto!!! -- now that's a scary bath tub.

sounds like a really great idea.
Freedsbakery.com has a nice castle cake in their gallery. It might be a little different to do a sheet cake and then construct the castle of color-flow panels, like this one.
I'm thinking about entering the same show but I asked if our cakes have to be that theme and was told no they don't! I would imagine sticking to the theme will definately score more points though! I wouldn't want to be over looked!!! I too have no clue as to what to make!!!!! I'm stumped!!!!!
