[GZG] [OFFICIAL] NSL Painting contest (better late than never....)

NEW-STYLE NSL STARSHIP PAINTING CONTEST!

OK, apology time: we promised the full details on the NSL painting 
contest some weeks ago, but for various reasons this hasn't happened. 
Accordingly, we're still running the contest but have decided to 
extend the closing date to the 31st JULY 2007, giving you an extra 
month to get your entries finished and it to us.

What we are after is pics of your painted ship(s) from the new-style 
NSL fleet. The pictures can be anything from a single ship to a full 
fleet, in any colour scheme you like. They can be posed on a neutral 
colour background, or photoshopped onto a starfield, or whatever you 
want to do; we will be taking the overall effectiveness of the photo 
into consideration in judging though, so best not to pose it on a 
messy workbench!

After the closing date, we'll decide on a single winning picture and 
the winner will get a prize consisting of at least 50 GBP worth of FT 
ship minis of our choice!

Entries should consist of photos of one or more of the New-Style NSL 
starships, in any painting scheme of your choice. Anything from a 
single ship to a full fleet is allowed; you may submit as many 
entries (and as many pictures of the same miniature(s) from different 
angles) as you wish. Other GZG starship miniatures  may be included 
in the photo, as long as the NSL ship(s) are the main focus of the 
picture.

The winner will be chosen by Jon Tuffley and Paul Owen, after the 
closing date for entries; the winner will be notified by email, and 
details published on the GZG website and on TMP and various other 
lists/forums.

The judges' decision will be mainly based on the quality of the 
painting work, but the overall effect of the finished photo will also 
be taken into account; the judges' decision will be final and no 
correspondence will be entered into about it.

Adding background and special effects (running lights, engine flare, 
weapons fire etc.) in Photoshop or similar will be allowed, but 
digital enhancement of the actual paintjob of the miniature is 
discouraged.

By entering, you agree to permit GZG and its agents to make 
reasonable use of the submitted image(s) in any form that they see 
fit, for commercial, promotional or any other purpose, with or 
without a printed name credit  (though we will always endeavour to 
credit work where practical).

All entries must be submitted by email, to this address: 
<<mailto:contest@groundzerogames.co.uk>contest@groundzerogames.co.uk>
Please ensure that an email containing your full name, postal address 
and email address accompanies each submission.
Most common image file formats are acceptable, if in any doubt please 
check with us before submitting.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures!
