A new twist on the Creatin’ Contest
Creatin’ 2.0 is a community-led revival of miniatures.com's Annual Creatin’ Contest. It’s a great way for miniaturists to kickstart their creativity and share their work with the community.
Entry deadline: Friday, December 4, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT.
The Kit
A Door to Somewhere
PHYSICAL KIT SOLD OUT!
The challenge is based on a new kit created by Kelly of Melvin's Miniatures in partnership with Erica Meade (@minihouseontheline) and Lindsay Burke (@schitt.to.shine): A Door to Somewhere.
We would like all Creatin’ 2.0 participants to add a door, window, or some other opening to the wall.
Why a door? A door marks a passageway and a connection between two spaces. It implies possibility. And is a perfect metaphor for the revival of the Creatin’ Contest.
All physical kits are now sold out, but if you have access to a laser cutter, you can download the digital kit and still participate.
How to Participate
1
Purchase the Kit
The kit, A Door to Somewhere, was limited edition and available to U.S. residents via pre-order from Melvin’s Miniatures. All pre-orders have shipped. Digital kits are now available.
