Access the complete Capital Palette 2024 rules.
The NOVA Open Convention invites hobbyists and artists to proudly display their work in Capital Palette, a juried, open-forum award, miniature art competition. In 2024 we are limiting the number of entries to three (3) entries per category/per person; there is no limit to the number of categories you may enter.
Model Categories
i. Single Model, up to 54mm Scale
Any single figure model, up to and including 54mm scale figures, in any theme. Single figures on a display base may include ancillary models (e.g., familiars, small animals, etc.) necessary to add to the scene.
Examples include: all Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar playable figures, Star Wars: Legion or Shatterpoint figures, or Marvel: Crisis Protocol Characters.
ii. Single Model, over 54mm Scale
Any single figure model, over 54mm scale, in any theme. Single figures on a display base may include ancillary models (e.g., familiars, small animals, etc.) necessary to add to the scene. Examples include: Viking Warrior 10th century from Revolution Miniatures, or Murksashi from Big Child Creatives.
iii. Diorama, All Scales
Any diorama, in all scales, in any theme. Diorama entries are designed to communicate a story to the viewer. Dioramas can involve multiple models, as with a duel, or no models, as with a burning shed in a field. Please keep in mind the size requirements for all entries.
iv. Vehicle, All Scales
Any vehicle, in all scales, in any theme. For this category, the focus should be on the vehicle, with ancillary figures in support for the story. Examples include: walkers (e.g., Dreadnoughts, Warjacks, mechanical constructs), cars, planes, tanks, ships, trains, etc.
v. Unit / Squad
Any number of models with a minimum of three (3) figures, in any scale, in any theme, displayed as a cohesive unit. Entries in this category must be submitted on a single coherent base to better indicate that they are part of a single submission and reduce model handling.
vi. Busts, All Scales
Any bust, in all scales, in any theme. This includes scale busts, and “partial figure” busts that include a torso. Please keep in mind the size requirements for all entries.
Divisions
The Capital Palette will have three divisions within each category:
Apprentice
The Apprentice Division is for beginners and is designed for new miniature painters and beginner young painters. Apprentice entries can be upgraded to Journeyman at the discretion of NOVA Open staff and/or Capital Palette judges.
Journeyman
The Journeyman Division is the largest Division focused on artists that are into gaming as much as they are into painting. This Division is for hobbyists that are active in their gaming communities and established artists getting back into painting after an absence. Journeyman entries can be upgraded to Masterclass at the discretion of NOVA Open staff and/or Capital Palette judges.
Masterclass
The Masterclass Division is for exceptional artists who have been competing and establishing themselves as masters in the hobby and painting communities. Masterclass focuses on top tier painters, those that have won major awards in the past (e.g., Golden Daemon, Crystal Brush, and of course Capital Palette), and/or paint and teach this art form professionally.
