Highlights of our Expo will be:

Exhibition-Style Display

Models are displayed by modeler, not by category--similar to an art exhibition. Each participant's work is grouped together with a name plaque and badges, emphasizing the modeler and encouraging conversation, interaction, and community building.

Juried Exhibition (Open System)
