Everybody attending the show between 10am and 1pm will get to cast their votes for best painting. Each person will be given 3 tickets. Numbered 1st-3rd. Voters will place their tickets in the box of the miniatures they like most. At 1pm we will open the boxes count all the votes and announce the winners at 2pm.

I will have 3 judges coming and they will get twice the amount of points per vote. All ties will go to a tie breaker with the judges votes only.

Young persons: Because we do not have enough youngsters to have a contest just for them, we will write down the age of any artist under 15 years of age on their card. Please consider the age of the artist in your voting. we will also verbally give these rules to people as they vote.
