Little Angels Painting Contest -24 hours to go!
Last year you may recall Wamp held a charity auction to raise money for the NSPCC . We managed with a lot of help to raise over £650. But I thought this year we could do a little better! So we have created what we believe is the largest miniature painting contest ever held online!
The aim this year is to raise over £1,000 for Tommy's, a charity dedicated to preventing miscarriage and still births. It's a cause close to my heart and no doubt some of you will have been affected by the subject yourself. If you want you can read my personal experiences here: My Story
So after 3 months and hundreds of emails I can finally launch this contest.
The concept is simple - you can enter anything you want - miniatures,diorama, scenery.
You can enter as many times as you want.
You can enter something you paint next week or something you painted 20 years ago. It doesn't matter if its been in other contests - enter your slayer sword winning entry if you like!!
The one major rule is that everything you enter you must auction and donate the proceeds to Tommy's
To tempt you into doing this I have begged, cajoled and plain old pestered companies and the result is this contest has a prize funs currently sitting at £1,374.80 and that will definitely rise more.
Yes that figure is correct!! that's around $2300 or €1535 worth of miniatures,bases,brushes, DVD's and even cold hard cash!
There are currently at least 50 prize categories you can win - there are sponsor specific prizes, best genre prizes, random entry prizes, prizes for best orc, best base, best diorama, highest and lowest auction price and more!!
One prize stands out and that is of course the Best in Show prize.
One lucky winner who scoops this prize will receive a massive prize pot currently valued at £295.67 and is guaranteed to grow and that includes cash!!
Currently we have catagories for the follwing manufacturers:
Avatars of War
Eolith/Spyglass
Guild of Harmony
Kabuki
Kingdom Death
Mantic
Minipainters
Myrmidon Studios
RAFM
Redbox Games
Reiver Castings
Scibor

There are still a ton of prizes available even if you want to enter something not from these companies
If your company would like to sponsor a catagory then please get in touch - the more the better.Any prize is welcomed - even if its a single miniature
The deadline for entries is valentines day (easy to remember) - 14th February 2010 so a ton of time to enter!
There are tons of ways to get involved with this campaign.
The best way is of course to enter the contest - the more the merrier.
If not then you can help spread the word - copy and paste the banner or link (I shall add shortly) and put it in your forum sigs or your emails, post the announcement on your site or forum.
maybe you can donate a prize or two?
Bid on the auctions of course helps and you can simply donate money directly here:

This really has the potential to do great things. I do believe we can raise plenty.
