Sounds good to me. Keeps builders doing their first attempts at an airbush job or washes interested, and the master builders have a seperate spot. Hopefully we'll get a ton of entries going into the winter months! Heck, I may even finish something to enter

question... can models be entered that have already been posted as a WIP, or completed thread? wasnt sure how that worked now that we dont make a thread for our entry.

There's no prohibition against entering work that has been posted as a Blog, WIP, or completed thread on Armorama. The only exception is work that has been posted as either an On Display or a Feature article.

from de contest rules:

"Advanced/Intermediate Level 1st Prize - Entries are put into a distinct gallery and voted on by all members. The model selected as the top entry via popular vote in the Gallery wins a prize in the form of a latest or upcoming release vehicle kit from Dragon Models Ltd. Prior months winner ineligible to win/enter.

Advanced/Intermediate Level 2nd Prize - Entries are put into a distinct gallery and voted on by all members. The model selected as the #2 entry via popular vote wins a prize in the form of a latest or upcoming release figures kit from Dragon Models Ltd. Prior months winner ineligible to win/enter.

Junior/Beginner Level - Entries are put into a distinct gallery and voted on by all members. The model selected as the top entry via popular vote in the Gallery wins a prize in the from of a latest or upcoming release vehicle kit from Dragon Models Ltd. Prior months winner ineligible to win/enter."

There's no more Armorama Jury prize?

Spitfire303, that's correct. All prizes will be awarded via the gallery voting process starting in October.

Thanks Bill,

Wow that's almost a revolution Just a thought. Did you ever consider allowing more than one picture par entry? I mean, from one angle one can't see everything. Some nice details won't be seen. IMHO what was interesting for the jury was the possibility to look at model from many sides so and thus having an opinion on stronger bases. Well, just my 2 cents.

Pawel,

Due to the voting nature of the gallery, one pic per image is all that's possible. It's up to the individual to insure the photo puts the model in the best possible presentation to the viewers. In an online contest, the photo is the model.

The October DMoM Submission period is open and will remain open for 15 days. Plenty of time to get your latest project done and entered!

Hi,

I have been thinking about entering this month's DMOM with my recently finished T-34, built this as a campaign entry, and I just submitted an article I wrote about the build.
While this isn't shameless self-promotion banned in the rules, is it fair and okay to enter this month?

Eetu,

Participation in a campaign doesn't bar you from participating in the DMoM, it's the same thing as doing a Blog thread.

I've sent you a PM about the article submission.

3 days remaining to get your entries in.

Bill, couple of stupid questions. If you enter the contest can you still vote, at least in the other category? And are there any guidelines to determine what class you are in, or just the honor system and personal opinion? Thanks for your help.

If you enter you can still vote in either category. You can only vote for one entry in each category.

The classes are set-up as Junior/Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced and the threshold between the two is determined by use of techniques, AM, etc. that would separate someone new or under 18 to the hobby vs. those with more buld experience. Unless we get a case where an entry obviously belongs in a different category, we honor the choice of the builder as to which category they want to enter.

Thanks, Bill.
