: : Hmmm I was considering the thought of submitting something done up with figures but decided against it. Still though, if someone went to a lot of trouble and built some complex diorama set piece with a bunch of figures, I think that should be considered. Anyone who just took a simple picture of their figure and submitted it though would obviously not have a very good chance of winning.

: I understand your dilemma, but I'm afraid that, out of not only fairness but potential legal ramifications, ART FEATURING ANY MERCHANDISE CAN NOT BE QUALIFIED. You may submit a photo of the diorama, but of the diorama ONLY and without the figure.

: Please read the rules very carefully. I'm sure you can understand the rationale behind this. If you made a sculpture and another artist put it against a pretty background, you'd have the right to claim infringement. It's that simple.

What if it were a custom figure...? I'm just curius... I don't have the time money or patience for that...
