April Miniature Painting Competition
April 16 @ 11:00 am - April 23 @ 11:59 pm
Welcome to our friendly, neighborhood miniature paint competition! Join the community of painters with this fun event.
There are three different skill levels for April: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced with 10 kits per skill level.
Your goal is to paint the model and show off your creativity and painting skill! 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be determined based on a few specific categories and judged by our painting instructors.
How to Participate

- You may only sign up for Novice OR Intermediate OR Advanced. You may not sign for multiple spots.
- Pick up your competition kit starting on Sunday, April 16th.
- Get to painting!
- Take some good pictures of your completed model. This might be the most important part! If the judges can’t see you’ve spent 6 hours on highlights, then it does no good! 4 pictures minimum: front, back, and both sides.

We have a lightbox set up for the community to use for this event! Make sure to take advantage of it.
