[MEG-Contest] Mini-Painting contest date extended till 3/1 due to site being down

[MEG Hal]

Here is what I have planned-
Starting today till 3/1 you paint a mini that can be used in any of our settings or books and send it to me and I will judge it with author Ken Shannon. When your mini is done e-mail me and I will reply with my address, it must be postmarked by 3/1 to qualify and we will announce winners 3/15.

We will have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and what they will win is:
Picture and credit on our site of the mini's.
The mini will appear as an NPC in an upcoming book of MEG's with a possible illustration and the painter will receive a mention on the title page, free copy of that book.
And in addition the first place winner will receive $75 in MEG product, 2nd $50 and third $25.

As far as rules, no rules you may create your own mini or use a pre-existing one, as long as it is painted we will be looking for:
-quality of paint job
-how well it is themed to the book/setting

So when you mail it also send e-mail addy, name of mini and what book/setting and why.

Also by entering you are giving the ownership of the mini to MEG so we can take pictures of all the mini's.

If you choose to have any non-winning mini returned just send postage and I will be happy to ship it back.

Doug's wife had the baby and it is too late for him to pull back this unusual contest. I wanted to award people for something more then knowing trivia, I thought this was an interesting idea.

I hope I get more entries then I do posts to this thread!

Are Giant Monster Rampage monsters a viable entry in this contest?

Yes any book or setting BUT you can't just send me a store version of a monster so they may be more work to compete for the painting.

sounds good.

Are multiple entries allowed?

Are multiple entries allowed?

I would say yes since we will be judging piece by piece, but I will also clarify that you can only be one placeholder, so not to get all the goodies.

But we will obviously give you credit for the best of your entries.

Also by entering you are giving the ownership of the mini to MEG so we can take pictures of all the mini's. <fnord>Not to mention so that we get lots of free painted minis for our own campaigns.</fnord>

That is FUNNY...
even worse after the contest MEG has a painted mini sale

I was not even thinking that , my thinking was that I have some Dwarven Forge pieces and I will set up the entries in cool scenes and have them posted...how is that!

Do not forget Arkham you need to tell us why it fits into the proper setting/book and a name of the mini in case you win so we know what to call the NPC.
