Votes have been cast! Some really lovely brushwork and basing on display and so many different painting styles that really bring out so much of the sculpting. I hope to have a few more entries in next year's competition and I hope to learn how to take a picture of small scale miniatures in the next year!

I'd back that all the way.
I saw a few painting styles I'd never have thought of by myself, and might just give them a go.

It's certainly true that a big bright photograph does a lot to show the minis at their best.

Misunderstood the system, I first voted once in each category then thought we were allowed 5 in each which was great because there are so many brilliant entries.

Now I see I was right the first time and have to go back and reassign a single vote, it will be difficult and I think everyone should be proud of their work, great to see so many passionate hobbyists with such a wide range of interests.

You were right the second time, you're allowed 5 votes per category!

Aha, perhaps I should spend less time painting miniatures and more on reading comprehension.

But glad I'm able to share the voting love around.

Thanks for the clarification.

I was having a really hard time in some of the categories because different entries were appealing to me for different reasons; now I can vote for them too.
