Oh yes - get your paints, brushes and one mini ready! It's time for the 5th Mini Exchange! A small anniversary, so let's make this one a truly remarkable event :)

You are hereby invited to take part in the 5th Chest of Colors Mini Exchange. Please read the rules thoroughly before you accept it.

5th Chest of Colors Mini Exchange – rules

1. If you want to participate, send me following data to my e-mail address philm(at)poczta.onet.pl at the 9th of November at latest:
- Chest of Colors nick
- first and last name
- post address

You need to meet at least one of the following requirements at the announcement date if you want to participate:
- membership in CoC group or painting studio,
- at least 100 posts on the CoC forum,
- at least 20 “thanks” on the CoC forum.

I will not accept PM's, e-mails sent to other addresses, phones etc. I don't care if I have your address already. Send the above data as requested :)

I will reply to confirm receipt of your application.

2. I will randomly choose a recipient for each of the participants by the 13th of November. You will only receive an e-mail including data concerning your recipient. This means that you will know who you are painting for (of course), but you will not know who is painting for you.

3. You have ca. 2 months to paint a single 25-35mm mini on foot. Mini needs to be sent on the 9th of January (Monday) at latest. Please send me an e-mail to the aforementioned address to confirm shipping and receipt of a mini.

Avoid delays if possible. We all know that life can get in your way and shit happens all the time. That's why we are giving you 2 months for painting. It's more than enough. If you have some true problems to finish your mini, please let me know in due time. Do not run away from us, we'll find a way to resolve such situation.

Please, take your time now and think about your commitments for next few months. Are you sure you can paint a mini in 2 months?

4. It's up to you what mini you choose for your recipient. Nobody expects you to paint to a contest-winner standard, but a bit of effort is of course welcome. It's about having fun, surprise and sending gifts to fellow painters and members of Chest of Colors.

5. We like the element of surprise in our Mini Exchanges. Do not let your recipient know that you are painting for him/her and/or what you are painting for him/her.

6. Take a photo of a mini you painted. We'll have a special thread opened for posting ME pics. Do not comment on minis there, it will only serve for showcase purposes. You are of course allowed to post pics in your own thread to have some discussion about your paintjob.

7. Minis need to be shipped as registered letters/packages. Please leave your receipt for future reference.

If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to contact me or ask here in this thread.

Thank you for your time. Good luck if you decide to participate.

Wanna take part in mini exchanges in the future? Requirements for the next Mini Exchange will be most probably changed - one will need to have X number of posts or thanks between this and next exchange... better get active... :)
