112 Kilmayne Drive, Cary, NC, 27511
MiniCON 2021 isa contest and swap meet, scaled down to accommodate a small venue and tocomply with social distancing guidelines for safety. No vendors, and no charge for those who wish to participate in the swap meet. The contest will be conducted as a typical IPMS contest following IPMS rules and judging criteria, but with limited categories. Gundam categories are also included.
Unlike traditional contests in the past, this event is much smallerin scope. Because of the limited space we have available for contest entries, we have reduced the overall number of categories. Foot traffic in the contest area will be limited in keeping with our need to practice socialdistancing in the exhibit area. We feel that this is the best way to conduct an event of this nature, while keeping everyone's safety in mind.Registration Details
$15 per entrant, limited to 3 models per person, with only 1 model per category.
In order to provide folks an opportunity to participate in a much smaller venue, we're restricting the number of entries per person to a maximum of 3 models, and you may enter only 1 modelin any category. We know that's not ideal, but these are not ideal times. This limitation will help us to work within a smaller space, plus, it helps avoid sweeps in any category.
Please keep in mind that this will be a social distancing event, and face masks will be required to participate
Please note, that due to space limitations, no dioramas!
Despite the smaller venue and categories, MiniCon 2021 will follow judging guidelines and regulations as described in the IPMS/USA competition handbook available online at ipmsusa.org. Categories below have been set up to match IPMS guidelines where possible. The head judge reserves the right to split. A No Sweeps rule is in effect. A unique winner will be selected withineach category for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards. The contest is open to all scale models except those winning a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place finish atthe IPMS Nationals or a 1st place finish at an IPMS Regional contest
