Please familarize yourself with our new contest rules.

Adalbertus Figure Contest (AFC) General Rules:
1. The following are eligible for the contest:
-Single figures
-Single-figure vignettes
-Multiple-figure vignettes
-Busts
-All scales are permitted
Figures for Campaigns and/or Group Builds are permissible

2. Entries must be of own work of contestant and should be finished within the quater.

3. Contestants may submit more than 1 entry per quarter.

4. Each build can be submitted to the Contest only once.

5. Staff member of Kitmaker cannot enter the contest.

6. To enter the Contest:
a. submit 6-10 photos to marcin(dot)kardaszewski(at)kitmaker(dot)net with "AFC + callsign" in title (please indicate which picture should be used for votin purposes). One of the photos should include in the shot a figure and a piece of paper with contest name and contestant full name and callsign.
b. Maximum 3 photos should be posted in Offical Contest thread with information on producer/own sculpt, scale and other brief information about the build.

7. Contest is being run quaterly and all entries should be submitted by the end of each quater.

8. Voting will begin within two days after quaters end and will be closed after 3 weeks from that date. Juggding will be done by popular vote of users.

9. Contest is sponsored by Adalbertus. Prizes will be announced in later stages of the Contest.

10. Any failure to comply above rules may cause disqualification.

Something not clear from these rules is the date range around which the figure may be started and finished. Must the figure be started and finished within the contest period? Only finished? I know we work on a trust basis anyway, but it's best to make these things clear.

And then another suggestion: why not set up a contest mailbox accessible to all staff (like the [email protected] and [email protected] addresses)? As opposed to mailing directly to one staff member? This ensures that should that single point of contact fail (e.g. goes on vacation, gets ill or leaves the staff, etc) that other staff can still access the entries and keep the contest going.

Just my $0.02... use it, don't use it....

p.s. well done on getting the new contest set up - good luck guys! Sounds exciting!

The figure should be only finished within the contest period



I'll ask Staff_Jim if we could set up such mailbox.

Thank you for your comments.

It is great to have a figure contest again at HFM. Thanks Marcin for organizing it, you've done a big work and I hope the contest would prove very popular among figure modelers... the prizes look great!

It's too bad more people haven't entered. But there's still time! Come on everyone, lets see what you've done recently!

This might be a stupid question, but where is the figure contest thread? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Maybe it's in front of my face and I can't see it.

Thanks in advance.

Currently there is no open official thread. As soon as I get the list of prizes from Adalbertus (which should happen soon) I will announce new contest and start a new thread which will be sticked on top of the topic list.

Hello,

I have a piece I'm finishing and will be happy to submit it to the competition.
Marcin, when you say that the topic hread will stick on top of the topic list, that means that within the forum topics of HF, the topic with the rules and where to enter pieces will never go down in the topic list ?
If ys, that's a great initiative !
Best,
Julien

Any word on this?

We finally managed to set new contest.
New thread is here: NEW Official Thread
Thank you for your patience!
