Spud Club Painting Challenge

Overview

Patrons of Patreon.com/FryMinis (aka the Spud Club) are eligible to enter the Spud Club Painting Challenge every month, each with a unique theme! Paint a TTRPG miniature for your chance to earn prizes and recognition.

Entry Subject

Your submission must be focused around the monthly theme. The themes are purposefully vague to allow your creativity to shine but your submission must have a clear connection to that month's theme.

Entry Requirements

• Photos. You may upload up to 5 showcase photos of the completed mini for judging. You must also include both a photo of you with the mini unpainted (primed is okay) and a photo of you with the completed mini - you may substitute yourself with your name on a handwritten note. The verification photos will not be published.

• Info. Monthly links will be posted on Patreon.com/FryMinis to Google Forms submission forms. Complete all required fields.

• Timing. Miniatures must be submitted before 11:59pm CST on the last day of the month for each challenge. You may only submit one entry per challenge.

Judging

FryMinis will judge submissions based on a balanced view painting skill, expression of theme and general creativity. While technical painting skill is important, it's our view that there is more to miniature painting than mechanical precision. Basing and terrain are not required but can potentially benefit a submission.
