Crimson Brush

The Crimson Brush is an Australian miniature-painting competition that brings painters and enthusiasts together for a live event in Canberra. Its 2026 competition is scheduled for 24–26 January at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC). The brand provides event information, competition rules and entry registration, with tickets and merchandise available through its website. Entrants can consult the rules pack and purchase an entry ticket for each submission.

For 2026, The Crimson Brush is introducing the Crimson Challenger, a category open to any attendee who wants to test their skills against other competitors. All entrants in this category must paint and present the same figure, with the inaugural challenge featuring Games Workshop’s Lord of Blights. Entries are limited to a single miniature, allow kitbashing of up to 50% of the model, and exclude dioramas and additional character models. The category has one winner and can be entered alongside other categories. People unable to attend can watch event coverage streamed live on Twitch.
