It’s time for another contest! This one will have to do with creating articles to teach painting, magnetizing, and using green stuff.

Here are the rules:

RULES

1. You must create a well-formatted, grammar-correct, spelling-mistake-free article of at least 200 words teaching a technique or tip that falls into one of the following three categories:

Painting Tips
Magnetizing Tips
Using Green Stuff Tips

2. With your article you must also either include a video that shows the steps or include pictures within the article.

3. The article must be posted on MiniWarGaming.com. We will NOT accept entries via video responses, forum posts, or in emails. The article must be submitted into the appropriate contest category as the primary category to enter.

4. The article does not have to be a new creation, but you must be the author.

5. You must be at least 13 years of age to enter, or have legal consent from a parent or guardian.

6. All submissions must be received by midnight (EST), December 24, 2008.

7. You can enter as many submissions as you like, however…

8. You cannot submit the same article to more than one category. For example, if you create an article that includes magnetizing and green stuff, you can only enter it into either Magnetizing Tips or Using Green Stuff Tips. A better idea would be to split it up into two articles and submit one to each category.

9. You may not use copyrighted images in your article or video.

CATEGORIES

There are three categories that you can enter, each with their own prizes. They are:

Painting Tips - tips, tricks, and techniques on anything to do with miniatures painting (e.g. How to paint space marines, how to prime)
Magnetizing Tips - tips, tricks, and techniques on magnetizing your miniatures (e.g. How to magnetize a Carnifex, how to choose the right magnets)
Using Green Stuff Tips - tips, tricks, and techniques on using green stuff (e.g. sculpting techniques, conversions)

PRIZES

Each category will have a top prize of a $100 gift certificate to our Warhammer Store. Also, within each category there will be two runner-up prizes of $25 gift certificates.

In other words, there are three $100 prizes and six $25 prizes to be won.

JUDGING

Entries will be judged based on quality, uniqueness, usefulness, correctness (i.e. grammar, spelling, formatting), and just plain awesomeness.

We reserve the right to remove any entry from the contest that we feel is in violation of any of the above rules.

EXAMPLES

Here are some examples of articles that would qualify for the contest:
