The League grew out of marathons
For seven years MAGFACE ran face painting marathons: briefs, deadlines, work reviews and a large community of artists. Participants asked for more: fair comparison, meaningful awards and a history that lasts.
That's how the Face Painting League began: the same briefs and community, now with judges, a rating, leagues and seasons.
