Saturday May 17 and Sunday May 18,
2008 Theme: "Wild Thangs": any entry depicting the likeness of an animal or the name of an animal. Online Advance Contestant Registration (Open until midnight Tuesday, May 13th, 2008) Online registration will save time at the registration desk when you'd rather be hunting for those bargain models in the vendor area. It also will eliminate the problem of registration personnel trying to decipher your penmanship and possibly miss-categorizing or misspelling your name/entry information. Do us both a favor and use our new online process and pre-register using a credit card - you'll also receive 10 free kit raffle tickets. Online registration can be done until 12 midnight on Tuesday, May 13th. After that time, the system must close to begin processing the information. Your credit card information is handled using Acteva's secured merchant account processes - Modelpalooza staff never see your credit card number. Acteva is the online vendor supporting our registration process and are compliant with Payment Card Industry security standards (we checked). If you register and then need to make changes to any model information, please just bring the changes to the show and we'll handle them at that time. We will also accept additional entries or refunds (in cash payments only). You may want to print the category listing as you will need this for registration. The following web-link will take you to the Modelpalooza Registration Portal. This is an easy process - however, if you have any questions about this process you email the registrar directly to ask for support in assisting you through registration. Modelpalooza

Modelpalooza 2008 Show Rules 1. Models may be made of any material, i.e. plastic, wood, metal or any combination thereof. 2. First, Second and Third Place trophies will be given in all categories. Special Awards will have only one trophy. 3. If a contestant places multiple entries in the same category, only one award will be given to that contestant for that category. No “sweeps” will be permitted in the judging process. 4. No self-propelled or radio controlled models will be allowed to enter the contest. 5. Junior category is limited to modelers who have not reached their 17th birthday as of May 17th 2008. Modelers who qualify as Junior may enter any category they wish; however they may enter more than one category with any model. Juniors will be eligible to win specialty awards. 6. Contest judges are not permitted to judge a category in which they are entered. 7. Bases will be allowed in all categories and will not be considered in judging except in the diorama category. Such bases will be limited to a depiction of the natural surface which the subject would be found (grass, tarmac or dirt). Any additions to the base will place the model in the diorama category. 8. The entrant will determine the category of each model. The contest chairman reserves the right to move entries to another category if such move is clearly warranted. All such moves will be made following the notification of the entrant. 9. There will be no categories (other than expansion splits) created after the beginning of registration. 10. For contest purposes, multi engine, fuselage mounted (i.e. F-4, F-14, A-6) will be considered single engine and entered in the appropriate Jet category. Multi-engine aircraft which have wing-mounted engines are to be placed in the appropriate Multi-engine category (i.e. Me-262, 747). 11. Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) entries must be an unmodified commercially produced kit, WITH KIT INSTRUCTION SHEET provided next to the model. If no instruction sheet is present, the model will not be judged in the OOTB classification. Seams may be filled if necessary, rigging, antennas and paper seatbelts may be added. Entry may be painted as desired and substitute decals may be used. You should enter a model in its respective category and use the Out-of-the-Box indicator. The model is eligible to win its respective category award as well an OOTB award. 12. Scratch-built models must be more than 50% builder supplied parts to be placed in this category. Scratch-built models may incorporate parts from other kits, but these should be generally unrelated to their original identity, except for minor parts such as wheels, guns, etc. 13. No models depicting nudity or other inappropriate topics
for a “PG – rated” audience will be permitted.
No exceptions. 15. All judging decisions are considered final. |
