June Miniature Painting Competition
June 19 @ 11:00 am - June 26 @ 11:30 pm
Welcome to our friendly, neighborhood miniature paint competition! Join the community of painters with this fun event.
There are three different skill levels, Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced with 10 kits per skill level. Each kit will contain a cool model and some thematic materials. Your goal is to paint the model and show off your creativity and skill! 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be determined based on a few specific categories and judged by our painting instructors.
How to Participate
- Sign up quickly! We only have 10 kits per skill level!
- 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, June 19.
- 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.
- Post those awesome pictures on our Discord NO LATER THAN Sunday, June 26 at 11:59pm.
We have a lightbox set up for the community to use for this event! Make sure to take advantage of it.
Choosing a Skill Category
Be honest with yourself about your skill level! If you’re still not sure, challenge yourself with the harder one!
Model Guidelines
Models must be presented on a base that is similar in size to the base provided in the kit. Similar is considered up or down a base size.
Example: If a 28mm base is provided, participants may choose to use a 25mm or a 32mm base instead.
Roughly 50% of the kit material types must be utilized.
Example: If provided with glitter, sticks, gems, and flocking, participants must use at least two of those four things in the final presentation.
Using every piece of the kit material is not required.
Kit materials used must be visible and noticeable.
