Figure painters around the world hit the show circuit win awards and accolades for their artistry and hard work, however PlanetFigure takes great pleasure in recognising the sculptors, box artists and producers that put in the hard work before the pieces are in the consumers (painters) hands that we paint, enjoy and debate about.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to place their nominees, and thank you to all those who voted.

Turn out was amazing this year, we had 380 votes, 213 more than last year

Great job everyone and let's keep the nominees in mind for next year!

P.S.
I've received a couple emails about the nominees, let me be clear: Nominees are submitted by you, planetFigure members, if the piece you feel should have been nominated by all means post it!

This is a stunning piece, one I wanted as soon as I saw it. Had the pleasure of seeing this in the flesh at Euro Militaire last year.

A much deserved win although a tough one to call as all entries were pretty much outstanding

I totally Agreed.
It was difficult to make a choice for a nominee. Even the choice for FoTY was more difficult.
