MiniMateMultiverse Picture hunt...2008

Last years hunt was a lot of fun and so successful we decided to do it again!!

Thanks to the nice guys at DST We have some special prizes that include a HUGE minimate banner that was liberated from the DST booth at the show breakdown, sets of blank minimates from SDCC and some single blanks. I counted a total of nearly 50 blanks are being given away!

1st prize.

HUGE Minimate Banner from DST stand at SDCC. ( see Hunt buddies thread for images)

Invaders and IronMan through the Ages minimate sets.

Set of 5 minimate blanks from SDCC ( 4 colors and SCIFI Six)

2nd-6th places.

Set of 5 minimate blanks from SDCC ( 4 colors and SCIFI Six)

6th and up until we run out of prizes ;)

One random blank from SDCC - color or type will be picked randomly.

There may also be some secret challenges and/or random prizes as decided by the judges jsut to keep you on your toes.

So what do you have to do?

Firstly you need to read the rules below then create a unique Mini-Team-Mate who will be your buddy for all of your pictures. This can be as simple just a headswap, we just want you to have a unique minimate for your pictures. To register for the contest you must post a picture of your "Mini-Team-Mate" in the "Hunt buddies thread"

This year is slightly different in that we are having 25 regular challenges and a few higher points challenges.

Be creative, have fun and I think most regular challenges should be possible fairly easily.

We are also giving each of our 3 judges 25 points to award to those pictures that they thought really stood out or made them smile etc.

Obviously the winner is the person with the highest points total or in the event of a draw the best "Tie breaker" entry.

All entries are to be submitted by email to huntcontest@minimatemultiverse.com

The contest starts NOW and ends on September 14th at Midnight EST.

OK folks Judging is done and we have a winner,

The scores were horribly close at the top and as always judging something this subjective has given myself and the judges grey hairs!!

1ST PLACE: Resurrection Bob:

The outright points winner and gets the HUGE SDCC DST Banner,Invaders+IM through the Ages box sets and a set of 5 blanks.

2nd PLACE: Max Carnage:

Came a stupidly close second place, and in the spirit of how close it was will get Not only a set of 5 blanks But also an Invaders boxset.

3rd-6th: VBpanizzi, Bob Harris, God Magnus and Blacksun.

These guys were really nipping at the heels of the winners and will recieve a set of 5 blanks each!

7th-17th: Everyone else that sent images of the challenges will recieve a random Blank from this years SDCC!!

Murder of Crows: will get also get a random blank because his name was used the most for Challenge #23

Send me your postal addresses to the contest email guys and I'll get prizes out over the next couple of weeks.

Well I think that wraps it up for another year, I want to thank EVERYONE who entered, the judging panel and especially DST for supplying us with almost all of the prizes we gave away this year.
