NovaOpen 2025 was an absolute blast! It was an honor to be recognized in the company of so many amazing artists! Octavius from #blackcrowminiatures and Poisonous Hag from #plagueminiatures were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Can someone please comment on this that's in the know? From an outside perspective, this sounds a lot like, "There are good and bad people on both sides". This is re: "Resist!" by Andrew Pollock - NOVA Open 2025 Capital Palette Fan Favorite award. www.instagram.com/novaopenconv... #NoFacists

Oh they seemingly had an issue with the winner of the community choice winner. There was board turnover after the con that seems weird and they are saying that the rules will prohibit a piece like this from being entered in the future. Lots of volunteers resigned.
