Contest Rules |
|
|
- Monthly club contests are open only to IPMS Ottawa members in good standing.
|
|
- Models must be at least 75% plastic-based, although the use of photoetch/metal/resin detail parts, etc. is allowed as those items are widely accepted as a part of modern building methods.
Models made primarily of alternate materials — wood, paper, fabric, metal, etc. — are ineligible for the monthly club contests.
|
|
- Partially-completed models are not eligible.
|
|
- Model must be the sole work of the member that enters it.
|
|
- Previously-entered models are not eligible, regardless if they placed.
|
|
- Models should be appropriate and non-offensive by generally acknowledged standards of taste and acceptability.
|
|
- Models must adhere to the contest theme.
