Rules
The constest is open to anyone. After having signed up to the Legio Pictorum Forum, you just need to paint a chick, take pictures of her and send them by email. The contest ends on June 7th 2009
The Chich Challenge was born to display only female characters. So only females miniatures are accepted. The femininity must be immediately clear, this means that aliens will not be classified as acceptable unless they have clear feminine attributes. So, demonettes might be acceptable, while putrid horrors or spawns will not be. Only single miniatures will be accepted, or, in case of gangs, they must be formed by females only. Pictures displaying gangs with males will not be accepted. In this case please take a picture of the females character(s) only. If it is a diorama, with many different characters, please trim the picture to display the female character(s) only. In case of doubts, please contact the Arbiter.

Pictures
The pictures must be in JPG/JPEG format and they will have to be maximum 500 point wide. The minimum requirement is 2 pictures, one front, one back. One additional picture displaying some details is accepted (max 3 pictures). Each set will be sent by email (chick.challenge@yahoo.com) together with some notes:

Name of the Author	First name and Nickname
Name of the Entry	Name of the character, of the scene or of the group
Name of the Manufacturer	Manufacturer or "sculpted"
Notes	Painting or sculpting notes, or any notes you will find important to share (optional)

The Entries will be displayed anonimously as thumbnails before the voting period. DON'T post your WIPs or pictures of the finished mini anywhere or your miniature will be disqualified. Once the voting process will end, the winning entries will then be disclosed. All the others will then be disclosed at a later time. It is possible to attend a real life contest, but it is not allowed for the pictures to be published. Any dubious case will be managed by the Arbiter.
A miniature cannot be entered in more than one category, but you can enter as man miniature you want, in as many categories you want.

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.
