Rules may be amended at any time in order to clarify the guidelines Special FX - Brush & Sponge ONLY (CANNOT USE AIRBRUSHING) This category is judged with with brush & sponge techniques and the use of special effects attached to the body and on the head. This category is specific for special effects adding to, changing and distorting the shape of the body. Examples of this are latex facial attachments, masking, body attachments, anything applied to the body with glue. There are no regulations as to what may be attached to the body in this category, but please consider the safety of your model. The work of the bodypainting is as important as the Special Effects! Special Effects are given points when they are combined into the bodypainting work, not as separate objects. The quality of Special Effects is important not the size or quantity.
