You can find the challenge linked up to the main page of MV, right upper corner:

1.

Alright,
so far we did not imagine that 2020 start like this, but it did. On one hand it is really confusing times, but it also seems the universe wants us all to have more time in front of our brushes and paints.
You know that MV always creates special challenges for you, like the Easter Egg Challenge, Pinguins, Marie Fleur, the Mad Max Car Contests and more. You can find them here:
http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.de/2012/11/mv-miniature-event-reports.html
This time is no different.
We want you to travel through your imagination without limitation. How you might ask?With a small astronaut as your main character. Read more about it in the rules!
With the inspirational help
of my MV brother Josua Lai, Concept Artist Samaneh Rasoul (banner work) the sculptor Momo Pügerl and Mr. Lee's Minis we bring you another challenge that will make your creativity spark and that we are pretty sure that its gallery will enter miniature art history. I came up with the idea for such a contest a long time ago and had in my mind for long. When the idea took shape I did some drawings and contacted Momo for seeing this tiny astronaut sculpted in 3d:


Mr. Lee's Minis started production when things started to roll on and Samaneh created these beautiful banners that you all can see as an inspiration. Quite the flow in this, but still - reaching the point to announce this challenge - was in fact a challenge and took some time, but here we are now:
2.

Task/Challenge:
Be creative. Tell us your story to what far away planet, crazy situation or miracle your astronaut travels.
You can build dioramas, single bases, connect with other figures of every scale, add a gang of astronauts to your story and see no limitation in size or else whatsoever.
The only rule is:
This tiny astronout has to be involved at least once.
Get your astronaut in 15 mm set via Mr Lee's Minis:

You can take part with as many entries as you like, no limitation in numbers. If you have great ideas you can win multiple prizes.
Questions?
Feel invited to ask them via comment on the blog. We will include them via the section #4 'FAQ'.
Judging Criteria:
The judges will look after your creative story-telling and your creativity. Secondly, they will look on technical painting quality and basing skills. All should be in balance in harmony.

Roman & Josua will handle the judging work.
Both and all Members of Massive Voodoo are excluded from taking part in the competition. They can not win a random prize or a medal. All of them are allowed to take part in the "Fan Award" voting.
