And now even the result from the International Jury
What to say...great performance of Mauganra, with three Golds and again a great Bravo to Automaton, elected to be the Best among the International Judges...
It was another great chance to see superb paintjobs, to celebrate famous painters, and to welcome new ones, but each one burning from the same passion, thanks again to each contestant for the time spent and the effort made...see you at the next Edition with new rules!

Yes OK, we are a little late...apologies...
And now to the winners!
Good job to all the contestants, but glory to the winners, great job guys and girls. This year the Best of Show has gone to Mirko Cavalloni as far as the Popular Jury vote. Undoubtely the most voted miniatures, so, great Job Mirko. Noteworthy the great performance of Jamie Downward that got on the podium in four out of seven categories, great job Jamie! And great job also from Sebastian Arche that got prizes in three categories...
We are happy that again the Chick Challenge was a success, and we are working to create new rules for 2010 Edition.
As far as the International Jury vote, we have experienced some techical problems, buyt we'll be ready very soon. So stay tuned and be sure to have enough miniatures to attend the next Chick Challenge. Thanks to everybody
The Chick Challenge Team

Phew...it was again a hard work to update the website but at the end we could manage it. Again a great success, a little less than last year but thanks to you still a great display. We got 62 entries distributed in all the galleries. Even the newly created gallery of greens was reasonably filled in with 6 entries. We are all proud and happy of all this, and now we can enter into the phase of the voting. As of today and for one week, you have the chance to vote for your favourite entries. The rules are the same as last year, and can be seen in the appropriate section of the site ("Definitions"). Go, read the rules, and vote!
The International Jury has now been consolidated, with some of the most important painters on the WW scene: Nano, Diegete, Matt Cexwish, Ben Kormets, Pietro Balloni, Matteo Murelli. Cool uh? So, best luck to each one of the contestants!

Rush, or you'll be out!!! The galleries have been updated with new entries, populating almost all categories. This will be the last update before the final one at the closure of the contest, so finish your model and send out to us for the final display, and good luck!

June 11 2009

Ok, the galleries are updated with new entries, and also the greens are appearing. One more sponsor, Kabuki Models, has been added to the ones already contributing: Pegaso Models, Soldatini, Il Basetta, Hasslefree, Guild of Harmony. Keep on painting and send your entries soon...and enjoy the contest

Hmmmm, the categories are still a little empty and we want to be sure that the competition is hard enough to give thrills to the contestants. So, even recognizing the work of people who got to entry within the timelines, we will extend the the time for submitting your work up to the first week of July. The contest will then end, no matter what, at midnight of July the fifth, Italian time. This is a large amount of time for you to entry a lot. Don't lose this chance and paint your chick and show us! More to come in the future.

February 1 2009

Yep, we are here again. It is not long time ago we were clapping at contestants and winners, and now we are moving further on with a new Edition. The 2009 Chick Challenge has officially started. It will end, on Sunday June the 7th 2009. This gives you a lot of time for entering your chicks. Besides the traditional categories, we have a new one. This year we want to see people challenging scultpures, so the new catogory is GREENS. Anyone who wants to enter a self sculpture, will now have the chance to do it. Cool uh?
Then, don't waste time, and start producing your entries, and remember that by rule, no entry should be published anywhere else up to the closure of vote. An entry published somewhere will be automatically disqualified and kept out from the challenge. Please don't forget it.
Good luck to all the painters (and sculptors)!

The Legio Pictorum is a large Painters' Community, that in time (it was founded in Nov 2005) made a large number of Italian Painters to grow in their skill, but also allowed them to establish interesting and deep friendships. Many newcomers found the Forum a nice place where to talk about miniatures with no constrains and on top of that, a place where to learn painting techniques from some of the best painters in the Italian panorama.
