I posted this on my blog (link below in my sig), but thought it was worth posting here as well...

That's right, someone is going to walk away from the Crystal Brush painting competition at AdeptiCon 2011 $10,000 richer. Holy bankroll, Batman!

Of course, the most interesting aspect of the contest (in my opinion) is how the combined results of internet voting & judging is going to pan out:

"Internet voting will be conducted at CoolMiniOrNot.com and CrystalBrush.com and will comprise 50% of the final score of each entry.  The other 50% will comprise of a panel of judges selected from industry professionals and AdeptiCon staff."

I'm not sure if the contestants love or hate the rules, but for a mini painter to pocket ten grand, that's just awesome!
