Rules & Regulations for contest participants

• The Flanders' Modelling Festival is open to all plastic modellers, members of IPMS or not.
  
• Three awards are presented in each category: Winner, Highly Commended and Commended. Furthermore, sponsors present the traditional additional prizes.
  
• Each competitor may enter in all categories and with more than one model per category. Only the model with the highest score per category can win a prize.
  
• An entry fee of 1,50 euro per pre-registered model is charged, payable on the day of the competition. Registering on the day of the competition will cost 3 euros per model.
  
• Pre-registration is possible by March 3, 2008 at the latest. Forms received with a post date later than March 3, 2008 will be charged the same fee as entries on the day of the competition.
  
• All models are to be built mainly of plastic or resin, except for the categories FM, FF, FB, S1, S2 and S3.
  
• Conversion of military vehicles means converting from one type to another. Models converted using commercial or home-made conversions have to be entered in the appropriate category, except for military vehicles.
  
• Scratch-built models are custom-built, unobtainable from trade. They may be made of different materials but must be composed of at least 60 percent of plastic.

• Juniors (under 18 years of age) will register their models irrespective of subject or scale in their own category. They will be judged accordingly.

• If there are not enough entries in a certain category, models registered in that category will be put in the most similar category.
