I'd hate to be a judge though, some people will undoubtedly have better cameras, scenery, accessories... I'd personally like to chop up pics and arrange them as a comicbook using Photoshop, etc etc
I think each one should be judged on several categories, eg. best storyline, best presentation and so on.
Also, should we set a limit to length? 100 pictures / 10 pages?

better set that deadline to 2010
I think the comic strip idea could be the next comp. For a diorama I think say 4 pictures from different angles of the 1 scenario. If anyone would like to suggest restrictoins, or shall we say 'no holds barred'?

I don't want to impose restrictions, I'd arther judge by category - best mini, best epic etc... but that will depend on the number of contestants.

I have two ideas for a diorama. The first would be a shad mortar line all dug in the dirt. And the second would be an SAS boat patrol landing on a beach. All I need now is the time and a modelling book about dioramas. I've seen one that covers making realistic looking water etc.

I'd keep your ideas quite, never know who's listening in
check out wiki's description of the modern diorama for a few tips

Just picked up some new scenery / buildings. Do the figures in the diorama have to be original
or can customs star in it too?
