From the WISE Contest Room

To promote modeling and photography efforts in the local model railroading community, the WISE Division holds free popular vote contests at its monthly meets which are open to members and non-members. Each first place winner receives an award certificate and a $10 gift certificate redeemable at selected local hobby shops. Second Place winners receive an award certificate. The Best of Show winner takes home a plaque (pictured on the left) and a $10 hobby shop gift certificate. See the WISE Contest Rules for more information on the contests. Gift certificates are purchased by the Division.

Remember, you can't win if you don't enter!
