It's the return of the OnTableTop Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2026. It's Springtime, a period of the year all about renewal and regrowth. We're asking you to crack out your old, broken, badly painted (yet still awesome) projects and give them a new lease on life.

Get Involved Here & Share On Social Media - #OTTSpringClean26

All you have to do is delve into the Project Section and get building yourself a new entry that shows us your progress as you turn something old into something new.

How To Get Involved

Here's a rundown of what you need to do to be involved...

• Create a Project
• Click on the Drop-Down Menu for Related Contest and choose Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2026 (you must choose 2026!)
• Start by showing us what you began with, an old model, piece of terrain, army or something more esoteric like a diorama!
• Turn something old into something new!
• Revamp an old and unloved miniature in your collection
• Revamp or rebase an entire army that needs some love!
• Take some old miniatures and turn them into an ace diorama!
• Break out those board game boxes that have been sitting for ages and paint up the miniatures inside!
• Come up with some new lore and restart an army that you began and never finished!
• Fill in your entries throughout the period of the contest, showing us how you turned something old into something new
• Enter from wherever you are in the world and get started on your awesome projects! (Some Restrictions Apply)
• The challenge runs from 20th March through to 21st June (which just so happens to be all of Springtime!), so you've got a few months to develop your project

We can't wait to see what kind of projects you bring together for this one.

The 5 Categories & How To Win

So how do you win those prizes? Well, we have several categories that you can enter as part of the Spring Clean Hobby Challenge! Prizes for the Winner and the Runner-Ups will be given out to...

• Best Skill - The most skilled work, be it painting or overall finish
• Best Tutorial - The person who shows us, in detail, the steps from start to finish.
• Best Idea - You don't have to have finished your work to be able to produce something which showed great skill in planning.
• Best Army Refresh - An old army refresh of 25+ miniatures - brought back to the tabletop for another battle!
• A Breath Of Fresh Air - Take a beautiful picture of your finished work in an awesome outdoor location!

All entries will be judged based on the number of votes on a project in each of the above categories (Skill, Tutorial, Idea), so if you see a project that you think really deserves recognition, remember to get involved and hit those buttons!

Remember To Hit Those Buttons & Share The Love!

This number is then combined with our personal choices from the OnTableTop team here in the studio and from that point, we'll pick our winners.

So make sure you delve into this and get stuck in. We, as part of the OnTableTop crew, are going to be getting involved ourselves and showing off the work we've been doing on our own long-forgotten projects.

Get involved!
