Following on from the great success of the first Wargames Iillustrated Presents the Historicon Painting Competition event in July 2013, we are proud to announce its return to Historicon in 2014. With over 120 entries from more than 60 artists, there were many wonderful wargaming miniatures that had been brought to life by the skilled hands of artisans from near and far. Without a doubt, the goals of our first event were met, and we look forward to seeing this competition grow over the coming years.
The Historicon painting competition will be hosted on Saturday, 19 July 2014, as part of the largest historical wargaming convention in the U.S. – Historicon – held again this year in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 17-20 July 2014.
Rules and category listings will soon be posted on the Wargames Iillustrated, HMGS, and Historicon websites. Additional questions regarding the competition can be directed to competition coordinator Dave Taylor at Wargamesillustrated@googlemail.com.
