Miniatures Contest
1. There is no additional fee for items entered into the Miniature Contest beyond
the purchase of a Full Weekend or Saturday Pass.
2. Participants must place all of their miniatures in one of two Divisions,
but not both. Each participant is considered either a Standard painter or a
Master painter and must enter all of his figures into one Division. Rules for
the Divisions are slightly different, as follows:
2a. Standard Division: Participants may make 10 total miniatures entries, only
2 entries per category, judged in the following five categories: Fantasy Character,
Sci-fi Character/Power Armor, Units, Monsters, and Vehicle/Diorama. 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd place will be awarded in each category, provided there are at least
three entries in the category.
Judging criteria: general impression, color choices, painting skill, additional
detail, and creativity.
2b. Masters Division: Participants may make 5 total miniatures entries, only
2 entries per category, judged in the following five categories: Fantasy Character,
Sci-fi Character/Power Armor, Units, Monsters, and Vehicle/Diorama. 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd place will be awarded provided there are at least three entries in the
category.
Judging criteria: general impression, color choices, painting skill, additional
detail, modeling ability, and creativity, with painting skill and creativity
weighing most heavily.
If you choose to have your entries judged in the Master's Division, you will
not be eligible to make entries in the Standard Division at future Egyptian
Campaigns.
3. Participants may choose the Division that best reflects their painting skill,
and may not change their selection once the figures are entered. The Egyptian
Campaign staff will determine in what categories the entries belong.
4. Additional miniatures may be entered for $1 each in the Standard Division
only; no additional entries can be made in the Masters Division.
5. One outstanding entry will be chosen and awarded Best of Show, entries from
both Divisions will be considered.
6. Submit entries at the Contest and Auction Registration Desk by 8 p.m. Saturday.
Judging will take place sometime Saturday night, at which point Ballroom A will
be temporarily closed. Winning entries will be on display by 11:00 p.m. Saturday.
7. The decisions of the judges are final. The Egyptian Campaign uses experienced
judges; however, the judgment of art is subjective and we cannot guarantee you
will agree 100% with their decisions.
8. Entries may be picked up after 10 a.m. on Sunday and will require an ID.
