- All models are to be built mainly of plastic or resin (i.e. appox. 60%), except for the categories S1, S2 and FIG 1,2,3,4,5,6 and finally FIG 7
- A diorama is considered to be more than just a flat surface. It is a base for a model that must also contain additional details such as, buildings, trees, ground support equipment, et cetera and minimum two figures! Look at special rules for FIG 7!
- Juniors (under 16 years of age) may register their models irrespective of subject or scale in their own category.
- Each category will be judged by competent judges. Members of the jury will not judge a category in which they have entered a model.
- Decisions made by the Competition Committee are not open to discussion.
- If there are not enough entries in a certain category (i.e. minimum 4), models registered in that category will be put in the most similar category.
- Registration to the competition implies full acceptance with the competition rules by the competitor.
- Each competitor may enter in all categories and with more than one model per category.
- An entry fee of 1,50 euro per pre-registered model is charged, payable on the day of the competition. Registering on the day of the competition will cost 3 euros per model.
- Pre-registration is possible by April 03, 2010 at the latest. Forms received with a post date later than April 03, 2010 will be charged the same fee as entries on the day of the competition.
