Pochi Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Categories:40-99mm wide/tall (Reaper only)100mm+ wide/tall (Reaper only)Diorama (Reaper Only)Non Reaper models Busts, and Dioramas over 40mm wide/tall Reaper contest: -- entries must be Reaper figures. Any 40mm or larger figure, metal or Bones, in production or OOP can be entered -- any figure which was painted and finished in 2021 is eligible -- figures that have won a statue level award as a ReaperCon entry are ineligible. This includes a Sophie, Golden Maelee, etc. -- the deadline for entries is Dec 31, 2021 at 11:59 pm CST -- a diorama is defined as two or more figures on a scenic base that helps to tell a story. The diorama may have smaller figures, as long as there is one large sized Reaper figure in the entry. Figures do not have to be permanently attached to the base but a scenic base must be present. -- you may enter as many times as you like, but only one prize per person will be awarded across all categories -- each entry needs to be uploaded to the appropriate thread. Please attach your entries using the forum uploading feature. We want to make sure they're visible at all times. -- you may submit between one and four images of each Single Figure entry and up to six images for Diorama. They do not need to be stitched into a single image file. -- you are allowed to enter miniatures that will also be entered into other contests that might overlap ours. -- nudity in entries is fine but please provide a link to entries containing nudity and do not post the photos directly into the forums -- the judges or Reaper reserves the right to remove entries if deemed inappropriate, but we're pretty laid back here and this is just to cover our butts. -- the judges and Reaper can clarify and amend rules at will. Prizes: Reaper has approved prizes in each category: 1st prize $50 2nd prize $30 random drawing prize $20 If there are fewer than 8 entries in any category, only 1st prize and the random prize will be awarded. Image Enhancement: -- digital enhancement ("Photoshopping") of your entry is strictly prohibited. -- no clone brush, healing brush, airbrush, or other brush work. Fix your paint with paint, not with Photoshop. -- no adding or removing background elements from the image -- if you add a logo or a watermark Reaper cannot use your image in their gallery. Note that if your image is selected for the Reaper gallery, you will be credited by name under the image. -- cropping, global color balance, and global level adjustments are allowed ("global" means "the entire image." You may not "pop" colors by only selecting some areas for level adjustment. Non-Reaper contest: -- entries which fit the above requirements (40mm+) or busts, or dioramas that were not made by Reaper can be entered here. -- dioramas need to follow the same rules as for the Reaper Diorama category with at least one larger figure in the diorama and on a scenic base -- there is no Reaper prize support for this category -- 3rd party prize support will be determined by donations near the end of the contest.

Pochi Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Whoa! Can you believe we are halfway through 2021? That means we have 6 months left to get our Reaper large minis painted and entered into the proper categories. If you wonder which category is best for your mini, most giants and some monsters are going to fit in the 40-99mm. The 100+ is going to be for your dragons and big ol' monsters! If you're unsure, just ask. We already have 4 entries in the diorama category and that is wonderful to see! Remember that you need at least one large Reaper model included in your diorama. And yes, the terrain in the sets such as the Ravenhome set and the yeti mountain pass and several of those would qualify as the large mini part if you include those in your dioramas! I am expecting to see a lot of new Bones 5 minis entered in the next few months. How exciting! I can't wait to see what you guys paint and how you paint them! Not to mention how much I am looking forward to mine! I just wanted to drop this little reminder here. I hope everyone is staying healthy! Grab those brushes and minis and keep painting! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pochi Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 We have entered the last quarter of 2021. That means there are three months to finish your large model entries and get them uploaded in the proper categories! We are getting a lot of nicely painted entries. Still a lot of time of time to get some paint on your minis! I am also looking for someone to pass the torch to next year. Your duties would include setting up the contest and rules pages, notifying the mods to pin the posts, monitoring the contest pages and making sure everything is by the rules. You would probably want to do reminders throughout the year. At the end of the year, you would contact people to ask them to be judges. You would then get the judges' lists, tabulate and notify the winners, and then let Reaper know so prizes can be distributed. I would go over all of the details with whoever takes over. Message me if you are interested. Get to painting those minis! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pochi Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 2 months left to get your minis painted and entered! If you would be interested in taking over running the contests next year, please send me a message and we can talk about the details. Happy painting! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what "heic" file extensions are, but photos usually end with "jpg". If you are using a different file format the forum may not accept it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher detail photos that don't suffer the same compression artifacts that jpeg does. Unfortunately, it is not widely accepted yet, as in many applications a jpeg is considered good enough, and is an old enough standard pretty much everything supports it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pochi Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 One month left to get those minis painted and entered for the 2021 contest! You have until 11:59 pm December 31 CST! I am so happy to see the quantity and quality of the entries this year! You guys are amazing! I am still looking for someone who might want to take over doing the contests for next year. It is mostly just putting up the posts at the beginning of the year, checking in and making sure entries are in the right category and follow the rules (usually not an issue), and then contacting judges and counting votes at the end of the contest. I am happy to help out and walk/talk the new coordinator through things. So, grab your paints, brushes and minis, turn on a Christmas movie or some Christmas tunes, get your mug of hot cocoa (keep it separate from your paint water!), and paint those minis! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
