Dream Pod 9 announces two contests for all to enter:
Northern Squad Contest
Show off your modeling and painting skills! Create, paint, and assemble a Northern Squad from DP9 miniatures, built to meet squad guidelines from Hammers of Faith. Include all information about which HoF army the squad is for and the swaps you used to outfit the squad. You may include a fluff background for the squad, and notes you feel are important (such as if you spent 15 hours building something to get an effect). Regiments of note are allowed!
All entries will be judged by DP9 staff based on painting, modeling and theme, as well as the fit for the army you built it for. First prize is $50 USD credit at the DP9 webstore; second prize is $25 USD at the DP9 webstore. Deadline for entries is July 15th, 2007. Submit entries to auroramag@gmail.com with the following in the subject line: NSC.
Battle Report Contest
Had a battle recently you know should go down in the annals of history? Submit it to the Battle Report Contest. Write a turn-by- turn, blow-by-blow description of the battle, describing the game you played. Photographs will add to the effect, and extra fiction and background is allowed. Include the forces, size of the game, size of the table and, of course, how you and your opponent are, regiments you play, etc. The main goal is to be entertaining and informative. Be sure to check the errata and FAQ before playing to be sure nothing was overlooked.
The entries will be judged by DP9 staff. The best ones will be published in a future issue of Aurora, and the winner will receive a piece of custom artwork. Deadline for entries is July 15th, 2007. Submit entries to auroramag@gmail.com with the following in the subject line: BRC.
