Welcome to the EpiComms Painting Competition, 2006.
The focus of the painting competition is to show the best in painting and modelling in Epic.

The general aim of this competition is simply to encourage players to get painting and show off what they can do.
I encourage people to enter no matter how good or bad their painting and converting skills are.

Entry Conditions:
You can enter as many times as you like in as many categories as you like, but an entry may only be entered for
a single category.
The entry has to have been completed in the last year, OR has not previously been seen/photographed before.
Thus you can photograph and enter stuff from your collection that hasn’t been published before.
Entries not complying will be removed from the competition.
You will retain all copyright etc for your entries, but by submitting your entry you are authorising the
photographs to be used in the Competition Gallery.
While you can enter as many categories as you like (and are encouraged to do so), you can only win one prize.
People entering multiple categories should provide a list of preferences they would like their models to be
considered for. If you do not provide an order of preference by the close of the competition, the default order
