What is Battle Cry Painting Competition? BCPC is New England’s entry into the large scale painting competition format. It is hosted annually by The Battle Standard Tabletop Game & Hobby of Manchester, CT. It is an opportunity for hobbyists of all miniature gaming genres to compete amicably in a show of talent and ability. Competitors register to submit their own creation(s) to be judged against the talent of their peers. Winners are awarded the official Battle Cry trophy in brilliant gold, securing their place in BCPC history as a testament to their painting skills and recognition as an exceptional artist in the arena of miniature painting. 2nd place and 3rd place Runners-up also receive recognition by way of a decorative plaque that can be proudly displayed to document their effort to be the best.
