Registration day

Well, friends, the time has finally come.

Registration for NaMoPaiMo 2025 is officially open.

Before you click that link, please know you will be required to upload a photo of your unpainted model to the registration form. 

Of course, we'd love for you to be in the picture as well.

After all, what's a party without a photo of the participants?

However, we realize some people really, really, really do not like sharing photos of themselves, so a picture of just the model is fine, too.

One thing I do ask is that you crop your photos. All this negative space looks terrible in a collage.

Please take a moment and crop it out. This saves me so much time. You have no idea.

Also, no collages! We have enough collages already! One cropped photo is all we need.

Remember, registration is a commitment! Once you sign up, there's no going back and changing your entry. If you are even the slightest bit unsure about your choice, please wait. Registration will be open until midnight on January 31. There's no hurry!

Finally, before you go, please take a moment to review the rules. There aren't many, and the event will run so much more smoothly if we're all on the same page.

If you're still on the fence about participating, consider this your nudge. Whether you are a professional artist or a newbie who's never touched a paintbrush, we would love to have you paint with us this year

It's going to be weird. It's going to be wonderful. It's going to be NaMoPaiMo!
