And the website with more information. https://www.farabi.it/ChCh/home.htm
However, there are some mistakes, like the deadline which is probably
5 Settembre 2010
and not in 2009 as you can read in english section
Yes, but I think that the information on "home" site is for this year competition whereas information on other ones are from last year. But I may be wrong
looks like the site is already refreshed
and the info:
All miniatures never seen online or displayed after 1st of January 2010 will be acceptable. Peculiar cases will be managed by the Arbiter. For the whole period of Chick Challenge, the miniatures can be participating to any online or real life contests.
The contest is open to anyone. After having signed up to the Legio Pictorum Forum, you just need to paint a chick, take pictures of her and send them by email. The contest ends on September 5th 2010
The Chich Challenge was born to display only female characters. So only females miniatures are accepted. The femininity must be immediately clear, this means that aliens will not be classified as acceptable unless they have clear feminine attributes. So, demonettes might be acceptable, while putrid horrors or spawns will not be. Only single miniatures will be accepted, or, in case of gangs, they must be formed by females only. Pictures displaying gangs with males will not be accepted. In this case please take a picture of the females character(s) only. If it is a diorama, with many different characters, please trim the picture to display the female character(s) only. In case of doubts, please contact the Arbiter. THe paintworks will be displayed with their own authors that will be then immediately known. All miniatures never seen online or displayed after 1st of January 2010 will be acceptable. Peculiar cases will be managed by the Arbiter. For the whole period of Chick Challenge, the miniatures can be participating to any online or real life contests.
A miniature cannot be entered in more than one category, but you can enter as man miniature you want, in as many categories you want.

and categories:
Categories' Definitions
Science Fiction and Steampunk: in this category you can enter single miniatures, clearly identified as Science Fiction or Steampunk, up to 40 mm of heights. This measure is valid for the standing miniature; if the miniature is in a different position (kneeling, squatting, laying on the ground) the measure is again intended for a virtually standing position. The height of the base is not included. Any race is included except monsters
Fantasy: in this category you can enter single miniatures, clearly identified as Fantasy, up to 40 mm of heights. This measure is valid for the standing miniature; if the miniature is in a different position (kneeling, squatting, laying on the ground) the measure is again intended for a virtually standing position. The height of the base is not included. Any race is included except monsters
Simply Outrageous: in this category you can enter single miniatures, any kind, up to 40 mm of heights, which are characterized by an outrageous pose or suit. This means that you can enter miniatures that are partially or totally naked, or that are particularly sexy or challenging. The measure is intended for the standing miniature; if the miniature is in a different position (kneeling, squatting, laying on the ground) the measure is again intended for a virtually standing position. The height of the base is not included. Any race is included except monsters
So Big!!: in this category you can enter single miniatures, any kind, above 40 mm of heights. NO matters how big they are, NO matters what kind it is. In this category might fall 54-65-90-120-200 mm miniatures, busts, etc. Here you can also enter mounted miniatures (on horses, monster, any animal, motorcycles, etc)
Female Horrors: in this category you can enter single miniatures, any kind, up to 65 mm of heights, which are belonging to Horror. This means that you can enter miniatures that are characterized by an horrific look, or they are involved in an horrific action or they belong to an Horror movie. In case they are in an horrific scene, please take care not to set up a too big scene (this is another category). So, a female zombie with a beheaded trophy in her hand is acceptable, a female champion on a battlefield is not acceptable.
Greens: in this NEW category you can enter single miniatures, any kind as long as they are females and as long as they are your own sculpt. Conversion are accepted as long as the conversion is at least involving 2/3 of the miniature. It will be the Arbiter discretion to accept or reject a conversion, while scratchbuilts will be anyway accepted. No limits for the size, so you can enter a 1:1 statue or a 28-30 mm miniature (not below 28 mm eyes to ground)
OPEN: in this category you can enter groups of miniatures, any kind, up to 40 mm of heights or dioramas, sculptures (green, not painted), and any other kind of female subject that doesn't fit in the other categories. NO matters how big they are, NO matters what kind it is.
