2019 Painting Contest

The 2019 MBS Painting Contest

Welcome to the home page for the 2018 MBS Painting Contest! Here you will be able to find the full rules for the 2018 contest, as well as instructions on how to submit your entries. Here is a summary of the Contest Rules:

Three Awards

The MBS Painting Contest includes three awards: The Admiralty Award, the Member’s Choice Award, and the Commander’s Choice Award.

  1. The Admiralty Award: The winner of this award is chosen by 3 designated judges.
  2. The Member’s Choice Award: This award will be voted on in the MBS forums via forum poll. There are several sub-categories in this award, and a winner will be selected in each category.
  3. The Commander’s Choice Award: Just like last year, this award will be selected by me (Ruckdog) to recognize an outstanding entry that did not otherwise place in the voting and selection processes for the other awards.

Further details on how the winners of each award will be chosen can be found in the official rules document (link below).
