The Painted Dragon's competition
Posted: 6 Jan 2011, o 21:32
The Painted Dragon's official New Year competition
Start date - Monday 3rd January 2011
End date - Thursday 31st March 2011
Theme - Dragon's
As this is the first official competition for The Painted Dragon's new website we have decided that the theme should be Dragon's but don't worry this is the only stipulation, the rest is entirely up to you. You can enter anything from a single miniature to a fully themed diorama.
Rules
1: The competition is for any kind of entry, fully painted with a finished bases. How scenic the base is is up to you, but it's the miniatures themselves being judged so stay focused! No 'weight' will be given to the size of the chosen miniature - human sized, monster sized, gigantic sized... they're all the same as far as competition is concerned.
2: The submitted entry can be from any range of miniatures/kits or can be something scratch built/sculpted.
3: The submitted entry/entries MUST be NEW paintjobs that HAS NOT been seen online before and HAS NOT previously been entered into any other competition.
4: Entries should be submitted via the Entry Thread. Images should be supplied as RGB .jpg files UNDER 500k in size and MUST show both FRONT and BACK views of the miniatures. You can use montage / detail shots in your submitted image, but bear in mind that sometimes less is more.
5: An entrant can submit multiple figures for inclusion in the competition, but no individual figure may be entered more than once.
6: This should go without saying, but the entry MUST be the work of the submitter - no 'borrowing' allowed.
7: Your finished image must be received no later than 11.59pm on Thursday 31st March 2011. Please note that your entry is considered FINAL once submitted - no 'revised' images will be accepted, so make sure your photography counts.
8: NO PHOTOSHOP POST WORK! You may use editing software to crop your pictures, make montages and to address contrast / brightness and that's fine but - no embellishing.
9: Conversions are fine - but again, as with the earlier comment about scenic bases, it's the quality of the painting that counts, not the sculpting.
Please note that by submiting images of your painted miniatures you are giving your consent for these images to be republished both on and offline for promotional purposes only.
Prize
There will be a prize pot of £50 to the winner to spend on miniatures and models of their choice from any manufacturer.
There will also be the Golden Dragon trophy up for grabs for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
Examples
Here are a few examples of the kind of entries we are looking for. The obvious choice is a Dragon model but as we have said it really is open to anything.
Space Marine with a Dragon emblem as the chapter icon.
A Dwarf Dragon Slayer
A model with a dragon depicted on it's clothing, maybe a Dragon hide cloak.
(please note that cash will not be given, only the cash equivalent of miniatures)
Start date - Monday 3rd January 2011
