ghodges Posted February 10, 2025 Report Posted February 10, 2025 Jaxcon 2025 hit new highs of 155 people who entered the contest and put 661 entries on the tables this weekend! We'll have video and pics of the models in the coming week that'll be posted and/or linked here, but in the meantime here's some pics to give the flavor of the show! Being blessed with sunshine and 75degs also helped of course! The Jaxcon raffle is HUGE..... We gave away a dozen FREE kits in a Friday night raffle where everyone gets 1 free ticket and can try to win the kit of their choice, as a thanks for their coming to the show early. That same table was used earlier in the evening to provide 15 free pizzas (which were totally annihilated) to feed them too! One of the car tables at 10am Saturday morning.... Armor entries around 10am... The large ship categories... Acres of aircraft early on.... HUGE scratchbuilt Aliens entry.... 1/18 AV-8B Harrier, probably visible from the Space Station! I was too busy to take pics much after 10am Saturday, so you'll have to wait for the rest. Comments and questions welcome, as always! Gil 1

ghodges Posted February 10, 2025 Author Report Posted February 10, 2025 Here some JAXCON 2025 GSB awards data to mull over, especially if you're still one of those naysayers who think GSB = "soccer awards" (WRONG!) We had 661 entries on the tables. We awarded 498 entries, which is 75%. That means 163 (25%) got NOTHING....NADA! GSB does NOT mean you're going to go home with an award! Of those 498 awards.... 124 were Golds (19%); 182 were Silvers (27%); and 192 were Bronze (29%). And speaking of Gold.....
