The June Model of the Month contest is now open for entries. Since May's enties were few and far between, they will also be elligible this month.
Hi everyone,

The Model of the Month contest for May is now open. Please submit your entries to jessica(dot)cooper(at)aeroscale(dot)co(dot)uk

All models finished during the month of May are elligible.

Submissions follow the new rules as follows:

1. The model should be a recent one that you have completed in the past few months. This rule is based on an honour system and we hope everyone will comply with it. More than one entry per user is permitted provided the models completed comply with this criteria. Please do not submit a model to the contest more than once.

2. The photos should be of a single aicrcraft-related model against a plain background (white or Blue preferred, but other light neutral colours are acceptable) not attached to any base or with any figures. If the model is built gear-up, it may be displayed on a simple stand. It must be clearly marked as your entry with the photo titled "Contest Entry (month)" with the month replaced by the name of the month you are entering i.e. January for January etc.

3. One of your photos should include (in the shot) a piece of paper with the following info:
a. The contest name: Aeroscale Model of the Month
b. Your full name
c. Date the photo was taken

4. Submit from 5-10 photos of your entry to jessica(dot)cooper(at)aeroscale(dot)co(dot)uk

5.Photos should be a minimum of 800x600 and shot against a plain background.

6. Include the following information in the email:
a. Your full name
b. Your shipping address (for prize fulfilment)
c. Your KitMaker username
d. The title/name of your model
e. Your preferred contest entry photo. If you do not indicate an entry, Jessica will choose one which may not be your favourite.

7.The rest of your supporting pictures can show the model as the modeller intends with figures and a base, and even some of the construction should you wish as the remaining images will be used to publish your winning entry on the homepage after the contest has concluded. In addition to the winning entries, we may select additional photos for publishing at a future date in a feature.

As soon as I have some entries, I will post the May Model of the Month Feature.

Time for another bump. I still only have one entry. Has nobody finished a model this month? Will I have to shift the contest over into July?

OK.... Where exactly is the gallery hidden these days? It's harder to find than Stephen's 30 yo single malt. I actually finished a kit last month, and I might be pursuaded to vote for it if I could enter it.

you need to send files to Jessica. btw, what about making the votes ones per 2 or 3 months depending on the number of entries as it is done on HF site?

I've been considering moving to a quarterly contest and having three prizes rather than one per month. I still have to work it out with the rest of the Aeroscale staff. Mark, just send a bunch of pictures to me. Look here at the follow-up dated May 19th for the latest version of the rules including submission guidelines.
