DEFINITION: Miniature paintings and sculptures are fine art on a small scale, with minute attention to detail, which can withstand
close inspection or enlargement. As a guideline (not a rule) for a general definition of small scale, a subject should be no
larger than 1/6th actual size. A human head is about 9 inches so the painted head should be no larger than 1½”. Subjects too
small for portrayal in 1/6th scale or nonrepresentational work such as abstracts or surrealism may meet the spirit of a
miniature if the work meets the above definition of miniature art.
RULES:
1. All entries are subject to be judged. Decision of Judge is final.
2. All entries must be original works.
3. Image size for 2D works must NOT exceed 25 square inches/63.5 centimeters. (Examples: 5x5, 4x6, 1x25, 3x3,
