Here are the categories for the annual IPMS Columbus Chapter contest. IPMS Columbus likes to encourage new and inexperienced modelers to be rewarded for their efforts and acknowledging that there many excellent modellers in the community, we have two sections for Adult modelers. The Adult categories are intended for those modelers who do not feel that they have the skills to compete with more experienced modelers. The Master categories are for IPMS members and those who wish to compete for greater reward. Junior modelers are up to 12 years old, and Senior Modelers are 13 through 17. All Junior modelers are judged together. All Junior and Senior models will be acknowledged with an award.
Best British Model - Best Marine Corps Subject
Best Fire Service Vehicle - Best Luftwaffe Subject
Together with the Category winners, Best Adult, Best Master and Judges Best of Show
