Blizzardcon 2012

Saturday, February 18, 2012

 

The highlight of each year for IPMS Columbus Eddie Rickenbacker Chapter is our annual contest.  Next years contest will be held on the 18th February 2012 at Aladdin's Temple in North East Columbus, close to the Easton shopping center.  Last years contest was well attended and attracted vendors and entrants from all over the midwest.  

 

Address is:

Aladdin Temple

3850 Stelzer Rd.

Columbus OH 43219

 

Everyone is encouraged to enter, no matter what their experience or skill, and one of the highlights is the increasing number of entrants under 18, where everyone wins. Our model competition usually has about 500+ entries covering a wide range of subjects and skills.

For an example of what to expect, here are the pictures from last years competition.

To enter in advance first choose the category to enter in. A list of categories is here categories, with a printable version here.   There has been a change in categories this year to better reflect entries received over the last few years and also the change in the plastic model industry with lots of new 1/48th scale vehicles. Also note that there is an Out Of The Box category for each model category now.  Every model entered, must have a entry form. These can be filled out on the day of the contest, or printed out from here and filled out in advance. If you are feeling clever, here is an entry form in adobe format, that can be entered in advance and printed out in an easy look for the judges to read.  For any questions about the contest, please contact our contest chairman Graham Holmes at ipmscolumbuscontest@gmail.com
