We have been receiving a lot of queries about how to enter the competition - online registration is not yet open, please check back in early/mid October, or keep an eye out for the announcement.
Our judging team is working on the final tweaks to the fabulous competition management system (HobbyShow.org) that was introduced at last year’s show.
Remember, the online registration form will be the ONLY way you can enter the comp, you will not be able to register at the show on the weekend.

Our new Swap & Sell stock management and sales record system, also introduced at last year’s show, is expected to go live in early/mid October too!

Until then, please consult the Scale ACT website page (https://www.actsms.asn.au/scaleact), and the ScaleACT drop-down menu at the top right-hand side of the page!
Thanks for your enthusiasm!
