As stated in this video, there is 1 category. The category is SINGLE FIGURE, ANY GENRE. 95% of the figure must be under 50mm. If the tip of a dude's sword is sticking out, it's OK. If you're concerned about your entry comment below with a picture of your mini next to a ruler and I'll give you a yay or nay. Pick just about any 28mm scale mini and you should be golden. The plinth + the mini cannot be taller than 100m in total height. The base area cannot be greater than 75mm x 75mm or if a circle, greater than 75mm in diameter (yes I under stand that's not the same area, but if I asked you to calculate area, there'd be a riot on my hands). 2. Take a picture of your entry UNPAINTED with a piece of paper next to it that has written on it: "Miniac Meat Grinder 2018". If the mini is already assembled, and primed, that's OK. SAVE THIS PICTURE. Paint your miniature. Make an awesome base. Then, take a SINGLE PHOTO of your final paint job. Pick whatever angle you think is the sexiest. YOU NEED TO FINISH BY JUNE 30TH. This gives you 2 whole months. Submit all the information here: https://goo.gl/forms/9MTRm0lJeOmKgTml2 3. I will create an online gallery where anyone and everyone can vote on their favorite miniatures. Everyone's miniature will get into the online voting. The miniatures to receive the top 10 most votes will move onto the next stage. The 10 final contestants will submit MINIMUM four photos to me of each side of the miniature and anything else you want to show off. 4. A panel of 5 judges will rank your submission. They will judge on three categories. Technical Skill, and Artistic Skill. To read definitions of these two, see how Crystal Brush defines them: http://www.crystalbrush.com/judging-and-voting/ . We will be using these metrics. A final and additional category will be Basing Creativity, which is straightforward. Each category will be rated out of 10. All of the judges scores will be added up for all 3 categories and the highest rated entrants will win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies and bragging rights! Let the games begin!
