Are you a budding sculptor, fancy doing a good deed for a charity of your choice ?

WAMP the miniature painting site (who also put out the free magazine Portal) are having a sculpting contest, I've copied the rules and link below

(NOTE: If you win you give up your reproduction rights to them, and choose which charity your minis sales will go to help, so you can't enter something you want to sell elsewhere, but if you're just staring out and want to make a name for yourself, want to make something specifically for the contest, or have a sculpt you just can't get into production but think everybody should have a chance to own, now's your chance)

Wamp in association with Black Dragon casting is proud to announce its first ever sculpting contest.

Prize
The winner will receive:

£100 Cash
£100 Wamp Store Credit
Upto 10 casts of your sculpt
Choose which charity to donate proceeds too (see Charityworks below)

We may offer further prizes in the event of us finding several sculpts we would like to retain
Deadline
5pm 30th November 2013 (British Time)

CharityWorks
Wamp CharityWorks is our new range of miniatures that will help raise money for charity. Each miniature in the range will donate a percentage of each sale to a charity.
Each miniature created is based upon someone's loved one that has passed away. the miniature is a dedication to that person and will have a charity associated to that miniature (one relevant to the loved one, chosen by the sponsor).
Every sale of that said miniature will give a donation to that charity. This is a permanent arrangement.
The winning sculptor will have the opportunity to dedicate their sculpt to someone of their choosing and nominate a charity for donations to go to.


Judging
The contest will be judged by the Wamp Admin team, Black Dragon casting and Portal magazine Editor

I would encourage you all to have a go at this contest, even if you haven't sculpted before its a great opportunity to get involved. the aim of the contest is to create something we can use to raise money for good causes.

Unlike our normal contests this doesn't have to be new work. You can enter something you have already sculpted.
