Hello everyone – Josh here from Josh Wojcik’s Miniature Painting Service …
I am once again looking forward to some Chaos Cup painting! For this year’s painting contest, I will lead a team of judges for the Chaos Cup CHAOTIC BRUSH Painting Contest. Each entry will be independently scored and evaluated by the judges in two rounds; the entry round and the final competition round. We have several categories to choose from, but first, please read over a few basic rules:
- It must be a model you painted.
- It must be based to be considered.
- The Best Theme category is the only category in which a display will be counted.
- For every other category, I will only give credit to the paint on the model(s) and its base. Example: You submit a painted miniature in the Best Painted Single Blood Bowler category with a small display that has a hand-painted background on the back of it, and it’s standing in a large pond with alligators (roughly a foot in diameter). I will ignore the painted background and the pond, and only consider the miniature and its individual base.
Note: This is to support some fairness in the painting competition. Some folks flying in have limited space to haul their minis; others can drive a few miles with an entire custom stadium. I want everyone to feel as though they have a fair shot at winning. Additionally, in my opinion, the paint on the model and its individual base should be the most important painted aspect of a model.
- One submission per category per person maximum.
- Each model can only be submitted to one category. Example: If a Throw-Ra is part of your team and submitted into the Best Painted Team category, it cannot also be submitted to the Best Single Blood Bowler category.
- Each entry must have an entry form filled out and placed next to your entry.
- Tables for placing your miniatures and when it will be submitted will be announced during the event.
Categories:
- Best painted Team (Best painted full team).
- Best Painted Single Blood Bowler (best painted single miniature)
- Best Theme (This category falls in line with creativity and a unique display. Last year’s winner was a pirate team in an actual treasure chest, where you opened it up and there was the deck of a ship. It wasn’t the best-painted work I’ve seen. But it’s very creative approach won the category. Of course, being painted well won’t hurt here, either.)
- Judge’s Choice (Best entry from all categories that didn’t win an award.)
- Best Painted PUNGA Entry (Best painted miniature produced by Punga Miniatures).
At this time, I’d like to thank anyone in advance that submits their work. It takes courage to put your work up there and let a bunch of strangers look it over. I am certain whatever you have will bring joy to someone else for them to be able to see it. You might even inspire someone else’s next great idea. I encourage you to share your work in this contest.
Thank you very much.
