Strong? Gentle? Delicious!? Submit your free-form painted creations!

The Dinosaur Paint Model allows you to paint with free imagination and create your own original dinosaur. This year marks the 22nd annual summer paint contest. It's up to you how you want to express yourself: be inspired by your favorite season or food and apply those colors to your dinosaur, or delve into ancient times, researching dinosaur roots for a realistic depiction! With various approaches, we hope to broaden the ways to enjoy dinosaurs through free painting. In addition to unreleased paint models, winners whose creations catch the eye of our staff will receive a trophy-themed colored Tyrannosaurus vinyl model for the Grand Prize, Excellence Award, and U12 Award winners!

From masterpieces to quirky and unique creations, we encourage you to submit any work that will impress the Favorite staff!
