AdeptiCon will make an announcement soon but the intention is they will fold Rogue Demon into Crystal Brush for 2011 to prevent dilution of either competition.

One more question, so the Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Historical have sub categories or are those three different options for one entry in an overall category? So in other words, will scifi squads be their own category or will they compete against the other subcategories for the top scifi spot? Thanks!

There are 11 different categories, each with their own trophies. There are currently 3 top prizes (somewhat akin to Slayer Swords) but instead of a replica sword, it's cash to spend however you want.

Good prize, but I dont think I will make the effort to go though. think the winner will come from the top 10 on CMON somewhere.

Us mere mortals dont have a chance!

Well with that attitude we sure dont. :p I think it would be great to go just to see what people have come up with in person and meet the painters.

ah man, i really would like to go , depending on if i got anything to enter and if i can afford the trip. student=broke :( That cash prize will no doubt be incentive for some bomb painters to go and getting a chance to mingle would be fun. Good thing Elly already agreed to spilt the cash with me if he wins.

QUESTION: Hopefully someone can answer this but is there any sort of annual mini painting contest in Canada worth going to?

That sum just floors me.

Even the third place prize is large than any contest's grand prize I've seen!


Chicago is very doable for me...just a 5 hour drive or so. Well worth it to see the talent this contest will gather.

How exciting!!!

im looking at this and of course am amazed and floored by it. my only question is, do you think the diorama category is a bit low on dimensions....if its 200 mm x3....thats around 8 inches and just seems smaller to put a full blown crazy idea into.....idk, just something to consider for a later date..

It's slightly larger than what the GD allows for dioramas. After some reflection we thought that made sense as well since it would focus the action down to a key elements and make for simpler apples to apples judging, and also one of the reasons why there is no open category. A 20cm cube is actually an interesting constraint, this should produce particularly interesting entries.
