2013 Famcon May25th-26th custom competition event

No, it would not be fair if you entered 3 of someone else's work, which is why i suggested that the person entering must have at least contributed to the figure for it to be eligible to compete. So for example lets say someone else painted the head and tailored the clothes but you are the one for responsible for bashing all the parts and futzing it to the current state its in, i would say that would qualify.

Sounds good to me.

Or you could have a separate contest category for entries that are the result of a collaboration. Separate from entries that are fully customized by the person entering the piece. It's a higher cost to you I'm sure. I've organized tons of design contests. But it keeps things from getting muddy. Just a thought.

I though most shows that had competitions had rules that submitted figs had to be original figs not shown before?

That sounds good. I would consider a kitbash a custom fig. Any idea if you'll have categories?? Or just best in show?? A Dio Category? Military? etc..

Custom figure competition entry fee will be $5 per figure limit 3 per contestant, all entries must be received before noon on Saturday May 25th of the show and winners will be announced on Sunday May 26th. There will be 2 categories Military and Fan Favorite, custom entries must be 50% bashed by contestant in order to be eligible for competition.

What's the reasoning behind the entry fee? Does it cover prize costs?

Yes, also the space that your figure is occupying in the display cabinet, if everyone brought any 3 custom figures we would probably run out of space.
