SPC Female Painting Competition

[kowlown]

Some of you probably read it on the news but i think it\'s a good thing to make this topic for those who never see the news page and only miniatures

The submission period for the 1st SPC painting contest has already began and will last until the 8th of September (23h59 GMT+2)

The subject of this contest is Female miniature painting.
Thus you can enter a single female miniature, on foot, every scale and every brand you want! Even full sculpts!
You can enter as much miniatures as you want.

For the people thinking it\'s another Chick Challenge i want to say SPC will change every contest, this time it\'s about female miniature painting and for another contest it could be OSL or freehand painting, understand?

I invite you to send your pictures (out of camera pics) with no montage! You can send as much pictures as you want, even close ups, or detail shots, but every detail must have its own picture, get it?

The judges for this 1st edition are:
David WAESELYNCK
Pierre VAUVILLIER
Both are multiple golden demon winners in france, germany, uk, canada.... but i\'m sure you know them
I\'ll assist the judges in their task as well.

You can check the page of the contest in my website, with the first 10 entries i updated yesterday:

Rules are in french in this page and i apologize for it, i\'ll try to translate as soon as possible! Anyway, all is explained in this message already!

You can also vote for your favourite mini by email, just send me a message with the number of your 3 favourite miniatures!
Voting will begin the 8th and will end the 10th.

Thanks,

Michael

I\'m not sure what you mean by \"out of camera\" Do you fix levels, saturation and sharpen them before submitting? I mean no digital image is ever finished until it has had some work in photoshop, and the photos submitted yet so far have at least had their levels fixed in most cases. Should I resize them (if I do enter)?

 

[kowlown]

what i called out of camera was about the size and the fact i don\'t want any montage but a picture for each detail/view. Sure you can fix the levels but no other action (like bluring etc) is allowed.

The next will begin the 24 November for submission period and will be judged the 9th of December.
