If we did this, should there be categories/guide-lines? and how frequent would they be; weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual? How would we vote?

I was thinking maybe a monthly competition with the winners scoring points to win fabulous tLatD swag possibly with the winners announced at Day of the Damned.

It might be spreading ourselves a bit thinly to have loads of options to begin with. You could start with limiting it to one category, then add more depending on peoples response and enthusiasm.

I was thinking maybe only have: single miniature, large miniature (28mm tanks and bigger) and maybe group (so squad through to whole army). Obviously there might be some debate as to what fits in where (i.e. a Flames of War tank would count in the single miniature category in my eyes) but I don't think it'd need to much clarification. Winners of each category get 3 points runner up 1 point. I'd say have the entire month for painting with voting being opening on the last day of the month and ending one week from that day.

We'd have an entry thread for each month where only entries may be posted (perhaps with a 3 photo limit perhaps 5 for the group category), one entry per category per person. Then a voting thread would go up at the end of the month where everyone could vote and comment on the entries obviously with links to the entries threads. These would obviously get locked on their respective closing dates. I'd probably have a 'hall of fame' sticky thread with all the winners and the current points totals in the first post.

Guess Mortis and myself should really decide some rules and get this set up. I don't mind running it myself. Anyone have any problems with the system I've laid out? Its based on a system that was on a forum (for hand made gutiars) I used to go on that seemed to work very well.
