This is a contest in which the Finalists will paint as many as three 54mm historical figure from Alpha Miniatures. This is a two-stage contest. In Stage One (the stage we're on now), contestants submit one photo of their work and a written explanation of why they should be chosen as Finalists. Our readers will vote for the top entries, who become the five Finalists and go on to Stage Two. (If there is a large number of entries, the voting may be divided into multiple rounds.) During Stage Two, there will be three rounds of competition. During each one-month round, the Finalists will each paint their choice of the three designated figures, and submit an article (with photos) of the painting process (to be published in TMP's Workbench). Concluding the first two rounds, the TMP membership will vote to determine which competitor to excuse from the contest. The remaining competitors will advance to the next round. The third round will involve the final three contestants, after which a vote will determine their final ranking. Prizes have been provided by Alpha Miniatures:
