Miniature Painting Competitions

Our miniature gaming community at Scalliwag Toys is filled with talented folks who spend a lot of time and energy painting their minis. This includes Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons, and the broader miniature world. We host a few different painting or other DIY-style competitions throughout the year to give these creative folks a chance to show off their skills and win some fun prizes. On this page you will find details about current or upcoming competitions as well as those we've had in the past.

Each competition is judged by the owners, Stacey and Stuart, and often also a guest judge or two - sometimes a previous winner of a past painting contest or other local skilled miniature painter. We try our best to provide constructive feedback to each participant, because ultimately while these competitions are a great chance to show off, their main purpose is to help our miniature community have some fun and creativity while honing their skills and learning new ones. Experimentation and imagination usually reign supreme, and sometimes it’s about the visual story of the mini itself as a whole, rather than just the skills on the model.
