Competition in the Creative Zone

Among Themed Dioramas

Each themed diorama can win one of three prizes in the following categories:

Best Film or Best Video Game or Best Small Diorama

Best Visual Effects

In the Best Film/Best Video Game/Best Small Diorama categories, please vote based on your overall impression of the diorama. Be sure to consider: • the arrangement of the dolls and how natural their poses look • the concept of the diorama and how effectively it is conveyed • how actively the dolls interact with their surroundings • creative staging choices (unusual arrangements of dolls and scenery, storytelling that unfolds across the display, etc.) • interactivity (whether visitors can interact with or influence the display)

In addition, all dioramas can compete for Best Visual Effects. Here, we invite visitors to consider not only the complexity and scale of the scenery, but also: • innovative technical solutions • the use of unusual materials • special effects (such as creative lighting, smoke, water, etc.) • changes over time (whether the display transforms in some way)

Individual award categories are also available for dolls portraying characters in themed dioramas:

Best Actor or Best Actress

Best Makeup

Best Costume Design

In the Best Actor and Best Actress categories, dolls are judged according to the roles they portray, regardless of the dolls' own gender. Visitors should consider: • their overall impression of the doll • how well the doll's appearance matches the chosen role

Only dolls with face-ups created specifically for Dollscar are eligible for the Best Makeup category. We ask visitors to consider: • how well the face-up matches the intended character • the complexity of the face-up • the presence of sculpted elements • any modifications

The Best Costume Design category is open to dolls wearing costumes made specifically for Dollscar. Please consider: • how well the costume matches the intended character • the overall quality of the costume • accessories (jewellery and other small details) • the complexity of additional elements used to create the look (such as wings, weapons, etc.)

• props and decorations
