Not this year, I\'m afraid! World Expo took too much money and vacation time for me (considering I had to take two weeks prior to leaving for finishing my entries). It\'s a shame, since it\'s a great competition and I really love Paris!

thats it. here\'s teh rules (from julien)


Article I – REGISTRATION
The Ravage MixOpen will take place from Friday 26th to Sunday 28th of September at Porte de Versailles, hall 6.
Art.I a – The Ravage MixOpen is “open”, which means that participants are awarded prizes in their own category, according to their level. It is open to all, with no restriction of age or club membership.
Art.I b – The MixOpen is open to participants presenting plastic, metal or resin fantasy or sci-fi miniatures, including those already presented in other contests. It is always best, however, to present recent material, dating back to six months or less.

Art.I c – You may register by filling out the information sheet on our website only (where this document is available in downloadable pdf format) at www.ravagemag.fr (click on the MixOpen 2008 section) in order to get the discount entrance fee to the event.
When you pre-register, an additional entry pass will be offered to you per paid entry: pre-registered participants thus pay for their regular 9 euro entry pass and get one free entry upon dropping off their miniatures at the MixOpen booth.

Upon registering, you will be asked the following information:

NAME:
FIRST NAME:
ADDRESS:
EMAIL ADDRESS:
AGE:
NUMBER OF MINIATURES PRESENTED:
NAME, BRAND/SCALE, AND CATEGORY FOR MINIATURE 1
NAME, BRAND/SCALE, AND CATEGORY FOR MINIATURE 2
NAME, BRAND/SCALE, AND CATEGORY FOR MINIATURE 3
NAME, BRAND/SCALE, AND CATEGORY FOR MINIATURE 4
NAME, BRAND/SCALE, AND CATEGORY FOR MINIATURE 5
NAME, BRAND/SCALE, AND CATEGORY FOR MINIATURE 6
NAME, BRAND/SCALE, AND CATEGORY FOR MINIATURE 7

Example 1:
Avalonian Bust/54 mm, Kraken Editions, Master painting
Example 2:
La voyageuse/28 mm, Asmodée, Seasoned painting

Article II – Registration and displays
Article II a –DISPLAY LIMITATIONS
Each participant will be limited to a display holding no more than seven pieces, no matter the number of categories represented.

Individual miniatures, miniatures on horses, motorcycles, etc., and busts, count for one piece.
Dioramas, squads, monsters, miniatures 60mm or more, as well as voluminous busts, will count for two pieces.

Example: A contestant may present seven miniatures in any categories. (7 points)
Another may present a squad, a diorama, and three individual miniatures. (2 points + 2 points + 3 points).
Another may present two monsters (4 points), a horseman (1 point), a bust (1 point) and a miniature (1 point).

If one of your pieces counts for more than one point, you will need to fill out as many fields as it is worth points.
Example:
1st field: Avalonian Unit/28 mm Kraken Editions, Master painting
2nd field: Avalonian Unit/28 mm Kraken Editions, Master painting

Since a unit counts for two points, you will need to fill out two fields.


Article II b – DROPPING-OFF AND PICKING-UP MINIATURES
Miniatures will have to be dropped off at the booth no later than 5:30pm on Saturday, September 27th (you may request a waver allowing you to drop off your pieces until 12 noon on Sunday at the latest). Pieces can be picked up after the award ceremony on Sunday, September 28th.

Article III – Jury, categories, and levels
Art.III a – Miniatures will be evaluated by a group of judges known for their competence in the field. A detailed list will be posted at the Ravage booth.

Art.III b – Participants may register in the following categories:
– Painting (non-custom retail minis)
– Transformation / Creation (with a full, unpainted sculpture—green— subcategory).
– Diorama

Four levels are represented in each category:
- Beginners: for participants aged 16 and younger, and painters with little experience
(tabletop painting level, basic techniques mastered such as drybrushing, shading, basic blending).
- Seasoned: seasoned painters (advanced techniques mastered, such as blending and scene setting).
- Master: for advanced painters (advanced techniques mastered— blending, texture rendering, special effects— including subjective parameters— lighting, color, mood, etc.— and customization (originality, style).
Note that group creations should be registered under the names of all parties involved.

Art.III c – The jury reserves the right to reclassify any piece or display, should the material be deemed ill fitted for its original category.

Art.III d – All participants agree to abide by the jury’s authority and judgment.

Article IV – AWARDS
Art.IV a – All miniatures presented will be evaluated either globally or individually at the discretion of the jury, who will always keep the participant’s best interest in mind. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded to the most deserving participants, in accordance with their respected levels. The number of medals awarded will vary with the number of participants.

Special prizes will also be awarded:
Best painting technique, best sculpture technique, best display, best large piece, best diorama, best base, best unit, best use of humor, and finally Best of Show.

The jury will favor awarding one prize per participant, even if more than one of his/her pieces are eligible for awards.

Article V – MISCELANEOUS CONSIDERATIONS
Art.V a – The organizing committee reserves the right to reject any material conflicting with the spirit of the contest or susceptible to shock the public.
Art.V b – Participants hereby authorize the organizing committee to photograph and/or film their creations, free of charge, and to use the resulting material in domestic and/or international publications, with no time limit.
Art.V c – Editions Thermopyles shall not be made liable for conflicts regarding the material presented, involving the participant and a third party.
Art.V d – By entering the contest, participants accept and agree to be bound by the contest rules and regulations herein and accept the decisions of the organizing committee, should there be any doubt as to their interpretation or application.
