All - 

 

Submissions for the 20th anniversary Minimates Photography contest are now open! Find out more info here:

Minimates Photography Contest: OPEN FOR ADMISSIONS! - Diamond Select Toys

[SignatureChoice]

this is beyond exciting and I think we should really get around it gang  *hyperventilating from excitement* also the poster is exquisite

[cylonchaney]

Cool!

[Nessex]

This is SUCH a cool idea for a competition! 

And it *looks* like it's open to everyone? (thinking of my fellow non-US citizens here)

[DSTZach]

Yes, everyone can enter. You can enter in multiple categories (once per category) but you can only win one prize.

Submission end date is the 17th. 

[SCW]

Sounds like a lot of fun. Stuff like this sets DST apart.

I'm definitely interested in submitting some stuff, but must confess I know there are some AMAZING Minimates photographers out there, so this won't be easy.

I have a couple ideas for some cool shots. Now, I just need to figure out how to shoot them....

thanks 

[DSTZach]

Yeah, I've seen some great entries! Although I've also seen some just posted on personal social media, so I hope they were also submitted to the contest.

This one is everything:

Looks like they picked the five finalists in each category. I did not weigh in on the finalists, but I will weigh in on the winners.

Those are some great shots. I didn't really think mine had a chance.

Hey thatsa me!  Thanks a lot for the shout out Zach.  That dumb shot was fun, but real intense to knock out.

You can see my super janky setup I did in my kid's room (the darkest room in the house) while I was playing hooky from work, here : https://imgur.com/gallery/FsIBqxA

Beautiful work. 

[cylonchaney]
