2006 Contest Schedule

[Piggy89373]

2005 proved to be a great year for the Paint and Body Forums. We’ve had more participation than in previous years. We’ve lost a few painters and gained a few more. The talent continues to grow and the gracious attitude toward our fellow enthusiast is unrivaled.

This year’s schedule for the Best Paint Competition will be slightly different than last year’s. Learning from the previous year, 2006 will see very few special contests. This will keep the amount of participation at a premium. So, without further ado:

January – Open Paint Competition
February – Open Paint Competition
March – 2 Color Challenge
April – Concourse (Detailed Body) Competition
May – Open Paint Competition
June – Open Paint Competition
July – Patriots Compeition
August – Concourse (Detailed Body) Competition
September – Open Paint competition
October – Halloween Inspired
November – Open Paint Competition
December – Concourse (Detailed Body) Competition

This schedule is not set in stone. I’m more than willing to add a few special competitions or change the existing schedule. If you have ideas, feel free to post them. The ultimate goal of this year is to continue learning from one another and keep having fun.

Explanations of Special Competitions:

March – 2 Color Challenge: A maximum of two colors can be used (including trim color). Mixing of colors is prohibited. However, backing with different colors is highly encouraged. Let your imagine run free with this challenge.

July – Patriots Competition: Show your pride, heritage, and/or patriotism with your paint. All paint schemes must show some sort of homage to the home or heartland. National and state flag themes are a great start, as are national emblems, landmarks, national/state animals/past times, heck, even sports teams. Keep an open mind and be creative.

October – Halloween Inspired: This is probably the easiest of all competitions for ideas. Let Halloween inspire your work.

Concourse (Detailed Body) Competitions: Quite simply, put as much detail into the body as possible. This includes not only paint, but added features like tail pipes, rear view mirrors, seating, dash boards, etc.

Piggy,
Are the colors going to be set in stone on this one, or will it be painters choice? Just want to get some clarification so as to get some practice in.

[GoofyTexan]

I don't like this at all, I was wanting to see....

Flames
Highest ebay auction
Best Picture Glue
Best Spaz-Sitx
Best Fastcolor
Best Testors

Best Blindfold paint job...

I like festers idea, best funny basher...

Ohhh well good job piggy, you cant please everybody!

[FESTER2004]

best blindfold job-now that would be good,lol

so now we have 2 suggestions for a contest using picture glue?....lol

[Piggy89373]

2nd, painters choice on which two colors.

Fes and Goofy, I like the idea of using picture glue, however, it does make it very restrictive for the pros who rely on strictly paint for their livelihood.

[Farwar]

Good Job. I like the idea of the two colours allowed. It will be interesting to see the outcome. The idea of the best flames could work well because everyone loves flames. :cool: Thanks Piggy for running these competitions.

[FESTER2004]

i understand where u are coming from 100% but that would make the contest different....i think using the xxx main glue would be fun and curious to see what turns out.it would give people a challenge to kinda do something a little different.

also i have a ? for the 2 color scheme paint contest, can u use xxx main internail graphics to seperate the colors?or any thing similair sticker wise????thanks

[microrcdude]

and for the 2 color paint job will we be able to use 1 backing color as well?

[2ndGeneration]

and for the 2 color paint job will we be able to use 1 backing color as well?

I understand it as being 2 colors only on the surface, but basically unlimited colors to back with.
Piggy, looking for confirmation here.

[Piggy89373]

2nd, BINGO!!! The potential with this is endless.
