CATEGORY 4 - CHARACTER RULES

COMPETITION TAKES PLACE ON MONDAY 27^th MARCH

Theme: House of The Dragon  TIME ALLOWED - 2 hours

Entrants are required to design and make-up a character inspired by the tv show House of The Dragon.  This is your chance to bring to life your new creation – not a copy of an existing character from the show.

Our Character category takes you on a trip to the world of Targaryen.  We accept character makeups of all shapes and sizes – prosthetics or out-of-the-kit creations.  Your design must be a physical makeup and the work of your own hands.  You can work on a model or on yourself, whichever you wish.  Only professional paint, make-up products, adhesives and removers may be used. 

Ensure your character satisfies the elements listed below.  Your compulsory Mood Board is a visual demonstration of your thought process, illustrating your character and the make-up design you have chosen.  It is worth up to 10% of the marks.  You’ll present your character to our judges.

PERMITTED:

• Prosthetic pieces such as nose, cheeks, etc. 
• Hand laid hair - beard, moustache, eyebrows 
• Full postiche - moustache or beard on a lace
• Hair to be styled or wig applied
• Makeup FX that come from the colour palette, not a piece
• Wounds/bruises from the colour palette
• Recent injuries
• Illness 

FORBIDDEN:

• Latex gussets, blister plasters 
• Acrylics, Sharpies or commercial paints 
• Contact lenses 
• Craft glitter

NOTES:  You’ll be judged on your interpretation of theme, design inspiration and attention to detail.   Wigs and hair are important, as well as the costume, but it’s down to your skill and creativity with makeup that will win the day here.
