How to enter
- Read our rules for entry we may disqualify your entry if you do not follow these. In particular:
- The model must be your own work. Collaborative projects are also OK; please name all builders, or use a club name
- We do not accept AI generated models
- We accept a maximum of 3 entries per builder per category
- Digital models are only accepted in some categories; please check the category you are entering
- Models by teenage (TFOL) builders are only accepted in the TFOL categories
- Please also read our terms and conditions for entry: by submitting entries you are agreeing to these terms. Models must be your own design and built within 3 years (36 months) of the start date of the awards.
- Enter your models via the website. We will approve models as quickly as we can, but it can sometimes take 2 – 3 days for your models to appear on the website and on our social media accounts. We have resources for taking better photographs of your models here – a good photo can make all the difference to our judges who are looking at hundreds of models!
- Sit back and relax – we’ll announce the winners for each category once judges have made their decisions. You can follow all entries on our Facebook, Bluesky, and Instagram accounts.
