One Page Rules crowns June painting winners, launches July contest
One Page Rules crowned June winners and opened July entries with a July 25 deadline, two Reward Minis, a 75% store discount and a Chronicle brush set on the line.
Dakkasaur Dan, Brendan Chorazy and NTJ took the top spots in One Page Rules’ June painting contest in Solo, Unit and Legendary, and the company has already rolled that momentum into July’s follow-on challenge with a July 25 deadline. The prize pool is built for painters who want something useful on the bench as well as bragging rights: the top finishers get two special Reward Minis, a 75% MyMiniFactory store discount and a Chronicle brush set, with the brush set varying by placement.
The June post also keeps the field open for painters who are not chasing first place. One random participant in each category can still win the same store discount, which makes the contest feel less like an all-or-nothing podium hunt and more like a monthly reason to finish something and submit it. Chronicle’s sponsorship fits the hobby side of the equation too. Its brush range includes Sable’s Kolinsky, Techlon Tiger and Wolf Bristle sets, and the Techlon Tiger drybrush line is marketed for zenithal, slapchop and related miniature painting techniques.
July’s entry rules are simple, but they leave little room for improvisation. Painters can enter in Legendary, Solo or Unit, but only one category per person is allowed. Each submission needs a single high-resolution square photo, the contestant’s Patreon username as the filename and only limited modifications. Entries go through a Dropbox request link, and the deadline lands on July 25.
Eligibility is also tightly drawn. The contest excludes Tier 3 throwback minis, Welcome Pack minis, Loyalty Rewards, Quiprie, Waurgazg, Terrain and Game Aids, which nudges the challenge toward current release models rather than older stash projects. That matters because One Page Rules posted its July 2026 Patreon release on July 4, keeping the contest tied to the month’s active output instead of a random back-catalog build.
The June results offer the clearest clue about what will read well under those rules. A square, high-resolution photo and a later feature in the OPR Mini Gallery favor pieces that present cleanly at a glance, which usually means strong contrast, crisp basing and a model that does not need a complicated scene to sell the paint job. That gallery is part of the OPR Community Wiki, where contest winners are highlighted alongside other painted OPR minis, and One Page Rules’ Patreon page shows the scale behind the monthly rhythm with 49,170 members and 1,301 posts.
For painters already working through the July release, the contest turns that monthly pile of sprues into a deadline, a photo, and a chance at usable hobby gear instead of another unopened box.
