South Okanagan Scale Model Contest
ELIGIBILITY
The South Okanagan Contest is open to anyone who wants to enter their model for competition or just for display. A person may enter a model as a “proxy” on behalf of someone else who is unable to attend the contest. Affiliation to South Okanagan Contest committee or any other club is not required to enter this contest. There is no limit to the number of models a person may enter.
Entry in the Contest is open to all within the particular age groups: Fifteen & younger are Junior, Sixteen and older are adult.
Entry Fees are:
• Adult Modeller, Sixteen years and older: $10:00 flat fee for any number of entries. There is no charge to bring in models for display only.
• Junior Modeller, Fifteen & younger: $5.00 flat fee for any number of entries
ALL ENTRIES MUST BE THE SOLE WORK OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHOSE NAME APPEARS ON THE ENTRY FORM.
Pre-finished models and pre-decorated kits of any kind are not permitted in any category (e.g. Corgi, Franklin Mint, GI Joe 21st Century Toys, etc.).
Every entry must be entered in the appropriate category, or it may not be judged. If advice is needed for selecting the appropriate category, Entrants should check with the contest Registrars or Judges.
Each entry must be entered in only one (1) category and the entry shall be eligible for all applicable trophies.
Persons planning to submit oversized entries (or entries that require special support such as AC power) must notify the South Okanagan Contest Committee at least one (1) month prior to the event, as we require time to pre-plan to accommodate for such entries. Failure to provide advance notification for such entries may result in those entries being placed apart from the general display area, or not having adequate special support.
Persons planning to submit a large number of entries in single category – which could reasonably be considered to overwhelm table space availability for the category – must notify the South Okanagan Contest Committee at least one (1) month prior to the event.
The Contest Chair or Head Judge may exclude from public display any entries s/he considers offensive to generally acknowledged standards of taste and acceptability.
(1) There shall be no depictions of explicit sexual conduct, bilateral or auto erotic, regardless of degree and regardless of the clothing-status of the participants, that involves children and the touching of the breasts or genitals or other erogenous zones of any depicted figures.
(2) There shall be no depiction of any nude human male or female figures where the genitalia of the figure are exposed where the clear intent of the same is to portray a sexual scene.
S.S. Sicamous Historical Society & South Okanagan Contest Committee assume no responsibility or liability for the transportation, security, handling, entry, registration, loss, storage or damage of any model entered or displayed.
