The Judges
Our admin team at DM Stash, as well as our sponsors will be judging your amazing paints. As well as that, we’re joined by two of the biggest names in the industry:
Squidmar

He started his journey in the hobby at the age of 12 and has since developed a passion for painting miniatures and sharing his skills with others.

Jose Da Vinci

The Questions
Why did you choose only 32mm, medium sized models?
We decided to choose these specific models (all 207 of them) just to keep it fair. We understand that a gargantuan dragon like Brazatul might be a bit of an unfair comparison to a humanoid model, just based on the epic-ness of the model itself.
Can I submit something I painted in the past?
No, you cannot. While we lack the ability to track if your paint is fresh, this is a trust exercise between all of us, and we hope everyone does the right thing.
Can I use custom bases/dioramas
For fairness reasons, we want you to stick to the base that was created for that model. As much as we love diorama’s, we believe that to be a totally different skill, and we want people’s paints to shine through.
Will entries with multiple models be allowed?
No they will not, you can upload up to five images of your singular model, but you cannot include a second entry, or a second miniature as part of your entry (such as a diorama piece).
How will the voting take place?
A public vote will shortlist 8 finalists, after that the judges will vote on a scale of 1-10 for the shortlisted finalists. The highest average scores among the 8 take home the gold, silver and bronze!
Can I post my entry onto the DM Stash social media pages or the Discord as usual?
Of course! That is how we have done our competition entries in the past. However, for this competition, your entry will NOT be counted unless it has at least been submitted to this Google Forms link. After it has been submitted here, you can post it wherever you want!
What happens if I win?
We will be in contact with you via the details you submitted in the Google Forms link with your paint! If you provide us the wrong information or not enough information, we won’t be able to provide you the prizes!
If I have further questions or wish to discuss the competition, where can I do it?
Head on over to our Discord or Facebook Community Group! We answer questions fairly quickly there. If we aren’t available for some reason, our community tends to be super helpful, so just ask!
Thanks for your interest in our 2 year anniversary painting competition! Submit your entry to our Google form. Best of luck!
