MRH staff notes - 4
We want to encourage contest entrants to think outside the box,
which is why we’re not putting a lot of constraints on this contest.
The MRH staff will judge the entries and select the winners.
The deadline for the contest entries is November 30th, 2013 (post-
marked or submitted to us online by midnight Pacific time on that
date). We will announce the winners in the January issue of
MRH and publish the winners later in the year.
What criteria will the judges use to select the winners?
We will be looking for the most creative use of the $500. For
example, who says the benchwork even needs to be wood? Or
that the structures need to be fancy kits?
We’d like your entry to have good future expansion potential.
Don’t just make a super-cheap one-off that you can’t expand or
do more with. This is to get someone started with $500, not to
show them how to invest in a dead-end hobby!
You also don’t need to spend the full $500 - doing more with less
will play a big part in selecting the winners. That said, those able
to do the most with the full $500 will also be a factor.
We’d like to show that getting into the hobby doesn’t have to be
expensive.
January, when the first of the winning entries will be published,
is when a lot of newcomers will be entering the hobby, so here’s
your chance to help them get started without a huge outlay
