Just for clarification, may a building by itself be submitted (multi piece of course) or may a building only be submitted as part of a set with figures or as part of a diorama?

3) Diorama - Can be created from any available figures and terrain. Submissions will be in the form of photographs of your figure(s). For this first contest any figure done from anytime in the past is acceptable, or you may create a new submission between now and the deadline. Any miniatures or buildings included must be made of paper. Ground and other surrounding may be made of any other available materials. Three images, as last year, or larger photosets acceptable?

Just for clarification, may a building by itself be submitted (multi piece of course) or may a building only be submitted as part of a set with figures or as part of a diorama? I would think a building would fall into the model set category, unless it was a 2D flat wall like a paper miniature. Dioramas; Yes, include three good pictures in the submission post. You can also include a link to a photo gallery of the other fifty pictures you took, but you want your best work represented within the submission.

A story or narrative approach can help make for a stronger entry, but it's not necessary for success. So no, it's not an entry requirement. The entry should have a title though like "Space dungeon underwater hellscape of doom". Sorry for my missing some of the specific details, this is my first time writing the rules for this showcase.

... Sorry for my missing some of the specific details, this is my first time writing the rules for this showcase. This will also be your first time but ( your ) experience and passion are not water ( this is an italian "way of saying" to say that these are very important things ). PS: you have a PM. I'm sorry for my bad english.

My wife fell to the floor with the camera in hand and broke the lens and now i only have the bad camera of my cell phone, now i´m trying to get a borrowed camera I hope your wife, at least, is okay. Cellphone photos _can_ sometimes turn out wonderfully, but it's so much better when you can get the proper depth of field to really show off the minis.
