Build and bring a model that fits the theme of the contest to enter. Please provide an index card with your first name, age, and a brief description of your model.

Models must be original and may not have been displayed publicly or online, or entered into any other contest. Only BayLUG members are eligible to enter, but you may join online prior to the meeting and take part.

Prizes will be awarded in four age groups:

• Under 6 years old - all entries will receive a prize
• 6-11 years old
• 12-17 years old
• 18 years and older

There will be one prize given for each age group. Only ONE entry per member, please. All members wanting to participate in the building contest MUST show their namebadge to be eligible to participate. If there are any under-6 entries, there will be an age appropriate prize available for them as well.

The contest judging will begin at 1:00pm. All contestants should be present at that time to explain their models and vote. After the prizes are awarded you may take your model and leave but you are encouraged to leave them on display for the remainder of the meeting.

Remember, the contest is for members only. If you're not a member, sign up prior to the meeting and you can participate in the contest.
