Show Theme – “AMERICA 250”

Special Award Category: “America 250” – This category covers America’s 250th Anniversary of Independence. This will not be a separate category. Moel should be entered into its regular category, and contestants will be required to check a box on the model form declaring that they want to be considered for this Special Award. Judging for this award will be based on not only the quality of the build, but also the strength of connection to the theme, so just because the model might be an American aircraft, vehicle, ship, etc., it may not make the cut, as judges will be looking for a strong, significant tie to the theme. Providing references and documentation with the models may improve your chances.

An important note is to make sure the entrant checks any of the appropriate boxes on your Entry Form – if the boxe(s) are not checked, it’s not judged for this or any of the Special Categories at Mosquitocon. Note:“Tailhook” (USN Aircraft only).
