The Maine Historical Wargamers' Association is pleased to announce a painting contest for Huzzah! This is a great way to show your own best work, as well as see that of other wargamers and painters. Even if you do not enter, be sure to visit the display, talk techniques, and appreciate the effort and skill that goes into painting miniatures for collecting and wargaming.

Ken Eckhardt of Blue Moose Arts has volunteered to run the event and has put together the rules for the competition, which can be downloaded at the bottom of this post. Ken has also been hard at work obtaining prizes for participants in the painting contest- check out this partial list:

Battlefront: paint and brush sets
Black Hat: paint sets
Caliver Books: 6 issues of Battlegames Magazine
RLBPS: paint sets
Scale Creep: tape measures
Uniformology: TBD
