ERH "pirates 2006" painting contest

[stubbdog]

Mike,

I hope you dont mind me posting this. If you do please let me know and I will remove it. But, I hope you take the time to read and maybe even participate...

It's once again time to have Exodus Road Hobbies host another painting challenge, the second of hopefully four painting contests for the year. With the recent rash of miniatures, the release of a movie, and even its own national day of recognition, we figured what better theme than that of PIRATES!

The contest will run from July 15th through Sep. 19th (National Talk like a Pirate Day). At the close of the contest, voting will commence for one week. Voting isanonymous and you may leave comments and critiques, which we have found our previous entrants have greatly enjoyed. After the voting, announcements will be made and prizes sent to the winners.

Based on our theme, your miniature must be of piratey flair or faction. We have come up with several sub categories to better match your entry with like entries for fair judgement.

The categories for the contest are:

• Salty Dog - Human and humanoid pirates of the male persuasion.
  
• Saucy Wenches - female pirates of course.
  
• Shiver me timbers - For all things sci fi and big stompies. Yes there are such things as space pirates.
  
• Bilge Rats - monster pirates, exotic sea creatures, and big ugly shiphands.
  
• 16 men on a dead man's chest - We are going to have a special category related to diaromas. Multiple models involved. Special rules apply.
  

The specific rules for the contest can be found here: ERH Pirates painting contest RULES. I would really like to stress folks to read the rules, as some may be missed or misunderstood and lead to disqualification.

We have been very fortunate with a number of sponsors, including Dark Age Games, that have chosen to provide supplemental prizes for this contest. We encourage everyone to let them know your appreciation! The contest sponsors are, in no particular order:

















We hope to add more sponsors in the near future. If you happen to read this and would like to support the contest in some manner, please feel free to contact me [e-mail]

We are looking forward to a great contest as they seem to be getting bigger and better with each passing.

So, come visit us and paint some...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, the sponsors have started sending in their prize packages...

And so far we are up to over 100 miniatuers and $200 worth of gift certificates. And we have not even received from all of them yet.

This is shaping up to be a GREAT contest for those that participate.

This guarantees plenty of prizes for the winners, as well as several prizes by random draw in each category.

But, there are only 2 weeks left, so you better hurry if you want to get in on the winning free stuff.
