The models will be judged on technical ability, painting, and presentation and the best entry will be selected as that show’s winner. There will be a winner for each of the following categories:

Open Category: Age 15 and older

Junior Category: Age 14 and younger (if sufficeient number of entrants)

One entry will be designated Best of Show and will qualify that modeler to compete against other N. American Semi-finalists from other events later this year to determine the N. American representative.
