And the Winners Are...!

[Nick the Lemming]

Some amazing work there, and a good reminder of why I never bother to enter this competition.

[Nosher]

High standards as always - well done winners.

Interesting to note that almost every winning/runner up/third place etc was from new ranges, particularly LOA/AWI/NAPS

[BH62]

Thank you for these awards. It was a very difficult year with many, many entries and a high level. Congratulation to all the winners but also to all those who participated. It allows to see the beautiful figurines of Pendraken and it gives ideas of painting) and decoration of the base.

Congratulations BH62, beautiful painting and simple effective basing 

A bit more light or a longer exposure would really improve the photographs, they all seem to be about half a stop under-exposed.

Congrats to everyone - well deserved winners, excellent painting and an inspiration to all!

Congratulations to all our winners. It's difficult to quarrel with the judges' decisions, but it must have been close - as witness the equal firsts and seconds.

Well done to everyone that entered,what a great competition, this really does show 10mm at it's best.  The standard this year was exceptionally high, so a very difficult job for the judges.
A big thanks to Leon and the team (and all the judges ) for making this a great fun event. Some very talented painters on here so i'm sure next years competition will be even better.

                                                           All heartbreakingly good-
                                                         well done all those chaps!

                                                          Have burnt my brushes.

Great competition, excellent standard really shows what can be achieved with these wee tiny guys. Well done to all who entered. The volume of entries makes the competition what it is and shows off the full diversity of the Pendraken ranges. Thanks to Dave and Leon for hosting a great event.

I'm off to think about next year as Hetairoi is going to want his medals back

Congrats to all the winners, they are well deserved. The quality of 10mm painting on show by all the entrants was excellent and I'm just glad they didn't ask me to judge. 
So hats off and Big Ups -I think that's the phrase the younglings use nowadays- to all the entrants and judges. Well done!

[toxicpixie]

I nearly didn't enter, seeing how good the entries already were - but I figured, it's all about the figures and the game, and a wide spread of stuff & talent is going to showcase the figures and techniques nicely. If all I saw were the winning entries I'd have hung up me paint brushes and given up  

I like to think I paint to a reasonable table top standard, at reasonable speed, but the winning entries are breath taking - a sign of quality is that so many *really* good figures *didn't* make it into first/second place  

[Farles]

Congrats to all of the winners. Some very nice painting on show.

Congratulations to those who won a prize and a big well done to all those who entered.

From a judges point of view this year has been the hardest so far regarding points.  There were several entries that had the immediate "WoW" factor.

After those came a real strong group of entries that where so alike in the standard of painting and presentation that it made it near impossible to decide who to award the points to.  I guess that was the reason for so many shared places.

Since the competition started the quality of work has steadily increased and it is always a pleasure (though defiantly a task) to be ask to judge.  

Once again well done to all who entered and to those that won, you deserved it.

I echo your sentiments Toxic!

I'm off to think about next year as Hetairoi is going to want his medals back  Smiley

My shiny medals... 

Taking into consideration the quality of most of the entries this year, I´m more than happy with my second place   

Thanks again Leon, Dave, Nik, Clibinarium, Andy and Techno! You did a great (and hard) work running this event!

[fsn]

I think a special applaud should go to Matt for his enigmatic, innovative and highly original entry.

Seriously, they're all very, very, very good. I'm caught between inspiration and despair.

[Leon]

I've added all of the medals to the winners profiles as well now!

[sebigboss79]

Very worthy winners yet again. Congratulations to all of us - even if we did not win. I am sure it was fun.

[Bishop Lord]

Congratulations!!!!!  :)to all the winners, and to repeat other posts the standard of all the entries was really really high ( I wouldn't have liked to judge), As more and more entries where added I just saw mine going further down the list so to get a prize I'm very happy with, but I think mine is via default as first placed was tied, lucky for me or it would have been third.

A big thanks to Leon and Dave for putting on the contest and thanks must go to all the judges who IMHO had an imposable task this year.

Jason.

Congratulations one and all.  Some really awesome entries this year.
