Painting Competition | Giants in Miniature Five-Year Anniversary
« on: December 08, 2020, 10:08:39 AM »
Our Giants in Miniature range was launched half a decade ago and we are celebrating with an epic painting competition!

We want to see your painted Giants in Miniature! We’ve created a range of categories, along with varied judging criteria, to ensure painters of all levels can get involved. You could win glory and fame in the pages of Wi, along with some fine prizes.

You can enter as many miniatures and/or scenes as you’d like; each entry will have a chance of winning the Main Category it is entered into, and we will fit it into Sub-Categories that are applicable. In that way even the less experienced entrants may be rewarded for their exciting entries!



Prizes include

- £100 North Star Voucher
- Be a Giant in Miniature – Your likeness, sculpted to fit whatever period and army you prefer, will be released as a GiM!
- 10 copies of your GiM.
- A Harder & Steenbeck Infinity CR Plus 2-in-1 Airbrush.
- A Broken Toad Mk3 Brush Set
- One year Wi Print and Prime subscription
- Choice of ten GiM
AND MORE!

Full details can be found here: https://www.wargamesillustrated.net/gimcomp/

I was tempted, but since I'd already painted some of them for Wargames Illustrated, I figured it wasn't in the spirit of the competition! Good luck to everyone, I look forward to seeing the entries.

I read it in the magazine and mi' first charitable thought was

'An ordinary brush mechanic's got a snowball's chance in hell of winning owt here!'

But, now that Mr. Cubbins has done the honourable thing, we mere mortals might be in with a shout!

Haven't heard anything myself... Was wondering if they had quietly called it off.

I believe the closing date for submission has been extended because of the plague?

Aye (and that caught me off guard since I could have prepped another figure, if I knew), but it is still passed by quite some time. Moving the closing date and then not knowing anything is what led me to think that they have quietly called it off since, probably, they did no have enough submissions of decent quality?

I posted a question here, asking if the results were announced.

It didn't seem to register.

Got to admit the silence is pretty deafening from WI Magazine. It'd be a tad naive to think none of their staff's gormed this thread.

I saw a post on Instagram that indicated the entrants were going to be posted in the May issue of Wargames Illustrated (unless I misunderstood it).

You may have seen this already but it does say there will be a gallery of entries in next month's issue:

I had a go at a couple and it will be fun to see if any of them made it into print!
