5. Judging
The Jury consists of Roman and Raffa of the Massive Voodoo Team.
We are judging the following points when looking at your entries:
- First Impression
- Athmosphere and overall quality of the single piece/display
- Painting technique
- Basing
During the judging work we allow ourselves to move entries in other categories. We don't plan to do this often, but if some entry seems in the wrong category for us and is having unfair influance on other entries in the category we'll do. We propose you just have some trust in us in this case. We both are a good team when it comes to judging and won't harm anyone. We just want the Contest to be a fair one.
