The Golden Vinci 2016 starts at 01.06.2016. Detailed Information follows right below :-)

We are already excited what beautiful contributions you'll be able to accomplish in one of the following  categories:

The Categories

Single Miniature:
The category single miniature is for figures up to 32mm (Models like ogres are ALSO part of this category, even if their actual size is more than 32mm). Your mini can stand on a normal or a scenic base (But diorama like bases, which set the miniature in the background or be a huge part of your project, will be moved to the Open category by us).

Important:
There where always questions about mounted models. In the single miniature category only horses, cold ones, boars are allowed. Pegasi, dragons, manticores or war chariots etc. will be part of the Monster category.

Monster:
Here is the place of all your big guys. Monsters of all kinds from Fantasy to Science Fiction or other. Even monsters riding on a monster are allowed.

Large Scale Models / Busts:
This category applies to figures larger than 32mm and busts.

Vehicles:
Everything with wheels, tracks, armor plates and wings - if they're mechanical.

Open:
This is the place for all the goodies which don't fit in the other categories. Like dioramas, whole units or something like that.

How can I participate?

If you like to participate in our contest, you must be a follower of our blog.

It is possible to participate in more than on category, but you're only allowed to contribute in a category once. There is a maximum of three contributions in total.

We primarily judge the painting of your contribution - 'cause this is a painting contest - but over all idea, atmosphere and basing are part of it.

Sending us pictures of your project is a concluding agreement we (dieVincis) and our media partners allowed to show these in context with this competition.

Deadline of the competition is 01. November 2016 23:59 CET

How to send my pictures?

Please take a minimum of 3 to max.5 pictures from different angles. Keep in mind not to extend the size of your pictures over 1.5MB.

Please make also sure you keep some of the higher quality files stocked at home, because our media partner Tabletop Insider will need those for publishing.

Send your pictures at competition[at]dievincis.de there must be your name and the matching category of your contribution in this e-mail.

Please send separate e-mails for your different contribution naming them with matching title in the subject line.
