For almost twenty years we - the Schminktopf crew - call facepainting our home, always concerned about raising its standard. This festival offers an opportunity to show the public that painting faces means more than cheek designs, yeah, it can be art. So we started this competition in 2006 with a mixture of pro-contests and school-contests. We decided to support teenagers and had them compete in their own contests in order to raise a new generation of facepainters that has a new and "innocent" approach.
