ALL photos of participants will be duplicated in parallel on two sites (PF and MS). All members can discuss and speak their opinion also on two sites. And at closing of competition all of us can vote for their favorite figure.

We accept all the sizes of figures in competition - from 28 mm to 120 mm and busts.
One vote from us as members, and one vote from judges combined in each nomination.


Time span of competition:
From November, 14th, till January, 20th, 2009

CATEGORIES

The contest has following nomination categories:

1. Scratch built miniatures.
All miniatures sculpted by a modeller but not painted. Only sculpting will be judged.
2. Painting.
Miniatures produced by any manufacturer and painted by a modeller.
3. Scratch built and painting.
The miniature is sculpted and painted by the same person.
4. Conversion.
All miniatures which were heavily converted (at least 50 %). To be able to judge the degree of the conversion, the jury needs photos of the initial model.
5. Professionals.
This category is divided into 3 sub-categories:
* Scratch built
* Painting
* Scratch built and painting

All miniatures will be divided into 4 main groups by scale:

1. 28-40 mm
2. 54-75 mm
3. 90-120 mm
4. Busts

It does not mean that the miniatures created in different scales will not be allowed to participate.

Photos of figures earlier shown on any forum and discussed are not accepted . Figures in any other competition / show are not accepted.

You also can look through project CHIEF 2007 and get acquainted with last year’s competition.

Yours faithfully also we hope for your participation.

Administration of sites planetFigure and ModelSculpt.

It is really grandiose project of association of two sites for joint competition-exhibition "CHIEF 2008"!
The big gratitude from collective and participants of a site "Sculptural Modelling" for all participants and administration "Planet Figure". We hope for much new, beautiful, interesting figures from different authors. It is fine possibility to show the work for many spectators in the world of a miniature (figures).

Great idea !!
How many pictures do we have to send? Is there a limit on the number of figures each may paint and sent in?

question: are only historical based entries allowed? or can we enter fantasy and sci fi as well?

Last years rules, which I assume still apply can be found here;

http://modelsculpt.org/chief2007/#

But I'll quote the relevent part here,

"All modellers who paint or sculpt miniatures are invited to participate at the present contest. Even if it is a contest mainly for the miniatures of historical and military subjects, any miniature can participate (Sci-Fi, fantasy, gaming miniatures, etc.)"

All i would add to this is that the images sent in shouldn't be edited.

Hello, everyone!

Yes, any subject of miniature can be participated: historical, sci fi, fantasy etc.

You can send as many figurines as you want.

The pictures - as many as you want but the important thing that it will be from 4 sides minimum and as high quality as you can provide. The judges do not see master model by self - they look at the photo and it highly important to make it easier for judges to judge.

Each participant is interested to show his figure in all the beauty so, the photos are highly important.

And photos shoudn't be edited.

Regards
