Silvercon model show & contest

This year, our annual SilverCon model show and contest will be held in the month of May. We’ve had great turnouts each year and the show attracts many contestants, vendors, patrons, and art enthusiasts. Our contest features over 30+ categories and plaques are awarded for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place finishers of each category. Additional plaques are sponsored by SilverWings members and were awarded for Best Armor, Best Naval, Best Aircraft, and The People’s Choice. The final award of the day is awarded to the Best Of Show and the winner is chosen between all of the 1st Place finishers of each category.

We encourage attendees to join in the contest judging and a briefing is given before the judging begins to give a detailed idea of what criteria is used to judge each entry.
