WE WANT BLOOD!

SPILL SOME FOR PRIZES

What is Smashbash?

Smash Bash is a mini competition that celebrates the creative, gruesome, pathetic, and evocative side of our hobby. I’ve run it for five years now, and it’s different every year. Check out how to get involved this year by scrolling below

Competition Theme

Mostly In The Flesh

A becoming. An undoing. A grand Hegelian synthesis. This year, it’s mostly in the flesh. Embrace it or destroy it. Your body. Your prison. Your release.

Do whatever you want this year. I’m not your mom, but she does say hi. Bring your best, whatever that means for you. You’ll be judged accordingly.

Competition Categories

Mostly in the flesh

You’re here to win. I’m here (With Ana P.) to crown a winner. Show us what you got. Anything Goes. Huge diorama? Individual Mini? Puppet show? Whatever you think wins mostly in the flesh, make that. Big or small, we’ll judge em’ all.

We’ll award custom, top three trophies to the entrants that show the most creativity and artistic flair for whatever you got.

We’re not playing by anyone’s rules here, so all materials are on the table, and on your minis. 

What’s In It For Me?

Top three get a custom trophy.


Plus, everyone who submits a piece will automatically be entered into a raffle to win some fun prizes, to be announced. Plus, your submission will be featured on our website following the competition. You’ll also be able to tell your kids, or the smoking ruin of the world, whichever comes first.
