Here is some more infomation about the Categories and Prizes:

Judges will be the same nice guys we all remember from last year – Matt, Ben Komets (white_rabbit) and Jose Manuel Palomares Nunez (JMPN).

Nominations/Categories:

Fantasy – SteamPunk 28-35 mm.
Sci-Fi 28-35 mm.

Any model afoot from all platforms and manufacturers, which suit the size limitations. The base should not exceed 8x8 cm.

Monster.
Sci-Fi Vehicle.

Anything that is made of flesh and blood goes to 3rd category, and everything that represents a product of an engineering genius goes to category 4. Model size is not restricted. This means that you can choose anything from a skinny troll to a big time tank of His Imperial Majesty! Models must not necessarily be solo – this may be a ridden monster or a large Battlewagon with a great number of stowaways on board. And yes – cavalry and all the favorite space marine bikes go to this category. Bases are not restricted in size, only by common sense. With regards to the models which may both qualify for either 3rd or 4th category (for example, if a live monster has some mechanical parts of the body), be careful – judges may decide to move the model from 3rd category to 4th, or even to Open. And we all know, only one model in each category is allowed per contestant.

Unit.

Any unit of 5 or more models from categories 1 and 2, and 3 or more models from categories 3 and 4, which may be united together for any legitimate reason. Large number of models is welcome! Bases have no restrictions in size, even though a united common base is a requirement.

Open.

We are awaiting for your busts, duels, dioramas, armies on parade, 54-90 mm models, and anything else whatsoever, which for some reason you would like the world to see!

Categories 1 to 5

1st Prize 500 Euro
2nd Prize 350 Euro
3rd Prize 150 Euro

Category 6

1st Prize 700 Euro
