Even though the 2013 Crystal Brush Finals are not quite done yet, Cool Mini or Not is already getting geared up for the new 2014 season for the esteemed Crystal Brush miniature painting competition! Hot on the heels of the big 2013 final event in April, Cool Mini or Not is hosting the first Road to Crystal Brush 2014 Qualifying event at their debut gaming convention – The Cool Mini or Not Expo over May 17th, 18th and 19th!

Come out to the show and bring your best and most skillfully painted pieces, pit them against other hopeful pieces, and possibly come out on top to win some great prizes…even airfare to the 2014 Crystal Brush Finals!!!!

Submissions will take place between the hours of 12pm to 6pm on May 17th and 18th; at which point a panel of Cool Mini or Not appointed judges will determine the winning entries. Awards will be announced at 2pm on the 19th…at which time entrants will be able to pick up their models as well.

As the opener to the Crystal Brush 2014 season, we are hosting three different categories that will all have a chance to earn some credit at the Cool Mini or Not webstore. The categories at the Expo Crystal Brush Qualifier are:

– Fantasy Single Miniature or Squad
– Sci-Fi Single Miniature or Squad
– Historical or Steampunk Single Miniature or Squad

Each of the categories earns its own set of prizes and work toward the Best in Show award. The 2nd Runner Up in each category gets a $25 voucher to spend on the Cool Mini or Not webstore, a 1st Runner Up gets a $50 voucher, and the 1st Place winner gets a $75 voucher!

That’s not all! The Best in Show over the entire competition is rewarded with reimbursed airfare to the Crystal Brush Finals in 2014 for a chance at the grand prize money!

    Are there any additional rules for CMON Expo entries? I mean can entries have been shown previously in another contest, or in completed or WIP pictures online?

      You can enter anything you’d like, even if it is something that has been entered elsewhere before. Be forewarned, half of the judging comes from online peer votes…and we have seen a trend of previously seen models getting lower votes than a new or unseen piece.

      Good luck!
