This topic pops up every once in a while with promises of later this year etc. The year is coming to an end and if we'r having another contest this year then it has to be soon!
The contest itself doesn't have to be that advanced or technical. I'd like to see more incentive for new members of the site to make an entry. So I have some ideas to get this going. I'll quote some of the rules from the previous contest and some changes that I'd like to see.
CATEGORIES
Unlike last time I'd like to try only having one "category" but multiple judging criteria ins instead. Examples of these criteria (that I would like to call categories) could be something like this:
Best painting
Best convertion
Best first time entry
Best basing
Best diorama
Best overall
Everyone making an entry would then only making one entry with a chance of winning all of the categories, except for the first time entry which can only be won by a newcome to lustria-online painting competitions. Hopefully this will encourage more new people to enter the competition. Also the previous contest had it's entires spread thin over several categories which this model avoids. Each category would have a gold/silver/bronze medal with every entry having a chance at each category.
More criterias are welcome should anyone have a good idea.
CONTEST RULES
Please be sure you read through them fully.
1. This contest is open to any and all who would like to enter, so long as they adhere to the required theme.
2. Entrants may use models from different armies or manufacturers, so long as the model is easily identified to fit the theme.
3. Entrants may use INFANTRY models from different armies to enhance their entry, so long as it is clear that the main emphasis is on models that fit the theme.
4. Entries MUST be submitted with a title. If no title is given, the entry will be named by X (and X won't be nice...)
5. Only ONE entry per person.
6. Each entry MUST consist of ONE to TEN models (no more no less)?
5. NO MORE than 5 images per entry?
6. Photo-editing will grant you an immediate disqualification. You MAY however adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, size or other relevant adjustments. Questionable photos will be reviewed by the judges. IF YOU ADJUST YOUR PHOTO it is highly recommended that you keep an original copy of the image, just in case there is any concern to it's authenticity.
VOTING
TBT
Dunno if pre-determined judges is the best or if we just make a poll where every lustrian can vote.
OTHER THINGS TO DETERMINE
The contest needs a theme! One idea is to do a Saurus theme since the previous one was a skink theme. Another idea would be a Lords & Heroes theme to celebrate the new rule changes (for better or worse) and get our new Lord and Hero minis painted!
The contest needs a time frame! Both or painting and for people to get their minis in case they need to order them etc. Some planning is needed!
What do you guys think? Should we make this a reality this year or is that too ambitious a goal?
