Suggest you add to this existing sticky...http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=18831.0That thread includes a lot of ideas and suggestions we haven't used yet. (Perhaps people suggesting theme ideas could check through it before suggesting the same things again? )

How does this competition work? From a newbie perspective.
You can take a look at the previous rules like 6th, but to summarise the key elements and frequently confusing issues...Entries are sent by e-mail. You must send a picture (or maybe several) before the league starts to get in. Later you send stuff when you want to enter new stuff.It's OK to stockpile even completely painted minis in advance as long as you don't show pics of them in any public places. Some feel it's more appropriate to take the iron man route and paint in "real time" but it's not required.In every round, entries are paired against each other and there are a bunch of "which one of these two is more awesome" votes.You get points for winning the vote, for the number of votes (even if you lose), for posting a new entry (never seen before), and for theme rounds.In theme rounds you get bonus points for painting some specific stuff, but a non-themed entry is still fine. It just doesn't get that bonus.Before the league, you're expected to spend a week or two scouting the acceptable limits of bonus theme interpretation. Most creative scouting attempts and the process as a whole will be ridiculed in a friendly manner.An entry is 5+ models forming a consistent team. Terrain bits cannot be team members. Their opponents cannot be team members. People cheat like hell but we pretend not to care too much.Many kinds of minis will do. We've seen 1/1200 ships, animals, monsters, self-sculpted minis, even space marines!Physical backdrops consisting of impressive scenery are commonplace. Yep, this is a miniature painting contest a bit like Eurovision is a song contest. So provide props, dancers and fireworks if you only can. It's entertaining.So is a witty team name.Now really, beyond the initial requirements (last year it was three teams in advance), it's not obligatory to post new stuff every week. An old entry of your choice is recycled. It can still win the voting but it won't get the "brand new stuff" bonus points. And voters tend to prefer fresh goods. And painting 50+ minis is cool.The rest is smaller details. Welcome.
... to seeing what everyone did each Sunday morning.
