October painting challenge

The theme for the October challenge is: Winter’s touch

This challenge starts on Thursday Oct 1st and ends on Sunday Oct 25th, which should be plenty of time. Those of you who followed our vote for the Sept – Nov challenges in August should be well prepared and ready to get stuck in.

We will be voting for the Dec – March themes in the next few weeks – so keep and eye out.

Anyway, back to Winter’s touch, there are no restrictions on this challenge – just meet the theme. This means any model, any scale – you just need to paint it during October 09.

When you’re finished you will need to post a photograph of your entry either on the Facebook entries thread – or the appropriate blog post. It will be obvious nearer the time, don’t worry. Our Twitter feed will always keep you up-to-date with deadlines, so make sure you’re following us!

Entries are subjected to a relatively painless public vote – where each mini is score for theme and style. The winner will receive the coveted Merit Award trophy, thanks to our sponsor Jonathan Shaw of BMF Painting. Each trophy is engraved with the name of the challenge, so you can display it with pride in your personal cabinet, mantlepiece, or where ever…
