Greetings! Kublacon 2010 is almost upon us! The KublaAwards Mini-Painting Competition is very exciting this year!
We are pleased to continue the new Open style judging for the KublaAwards.
This style of competition is *merit-based*. The panel of judges critique the entries based on quality of artistry and technique. You are not judged against your neighbor, but against an artistic and technical 'standard'. If your entry is Gold-worthy, then you will in fact win a Gold trophy! This style of judging has been practiced for many years at Historical conventions and European competitions. Last year, many American painting competitions adopted variations of the Open System, including GenghisCon, ReaperCon, and our very own KublaCon!
Genres are eliminated. There are now two main categories: the Open Category is the main amateur competition, and the Masterclass category is for high-end prestige competition. Masterclass will be judged to a more stringent standard. Those who place in Masterclass are indeed the 'Best of the Best'! Both categories are judged according to Open rules.
See link for full rules of entry:
Last year we unveiled our new Kubla Trophies! Our very own local celebrity sculptor and Kubla con seminar instructor, Matt Gubser (of Prophet Miniatures), was commissioned to sculpt 3 new trophies. And they are beauties! The Open category will be receiving medallions with the face of our Kubla mascot. The Masterclass will get the bust of Kubla trophy. And the Best of Show is a stunning, and GIANT, arm holding the coveted KublaSword. These are beautiful and exciting new trophies! Be sure to catch Matt Gubsers popular sculpting class at KublaCon this year.
Come to KublaCon 2010 and enjoy the KublaAwards Competition, the Paint-n-Take tables, Speedpainting contests, and seminars.
See you at KublaCon! May 28-31, 2010, at the Hyatt Regency, Burlingame, next to the SF airport.
