The Golden Demon competition is the most prestigious Miniature Painting and modelling competition run by Games Workshop , and is held during the Games Day Event in the UK, USA and other countries. HISTORY The Golden Demon competition has been held since 1987 in the UK, since 1991 in the USA and in other countries more recently. The competition is named for the first prize Trophy in each category, the Golden Demon. The Golden Demon trophy itself is a figurine of a horned Demon painted gold, posed with its arms crossed over its chest in a manner somewhat reminiscent of The Oscar ). Silver and Bronze Demon trophies are given for second and third places, respectively in each category. The overall winner across all categories at the event receives the "Slayer Sword", an actual full-size Broadsword about 5 Feet in length from Pommel to tip. The competition measures the skills of painting and modelling, since conversions and alterations of existing miniatures are encouraged.
