Speed Painting Contest Rules

AKA: At least acrylics dry faster than oils...
  • Have Fun! Good sportsmanship is essential for this activity.
  • Any participant violating the good sportmanship rule will be disqualified.
  • Each participant will be given a miniature to paint. It will already have been cleaned and primed for you.
  • All tools and paints will be provided for you.
  • There is a limited amount of paint available, you will be given palettes to work from.
  • If a color you want is not available, mix it yourself. You do remember your color wheel from art class, don't you?
  • You have 30 minutes to paint your miniature the best paint job you can.
  • When time is called, hands up. You're done.
  • Participants and staff will then vote on the best paint job. Please do not vote for yourself.
  • While the votes are tallied, please clean up your own mess. Your mother is not a member of the staff. :)
  • The contest is open to any convention attendee with the following provisions:
    • Members of the MIA club may not participate. You're supposed to be staffing the contest... remember... :)
    • Adults may enter the contest, but priority will be given to participants age 17 and under. Meaning if there are any slots left over after all the children who want to join have done so, then adults may participate.
    • The contest is limited to ten participants.
