The 100

The 100

Vendor count SMC 2024 passing the 100 line

SMC keeps surprising even us as organisers.

Monday January 15th we sent the newsletter inviting the vendors for SMC 2024.

Usually we start two months earlier, about a month or so after the previous SMC. We thought it was a smart plan to take kind of  a break this time around, hence we started only recently.

Much to our surprise, the mailbox was flooded with registrations forms just minutes after the newsletter went out, and this went on all day on Monday and Tuesday. And although it slowed down a bit, this continued until this day (Friday 19th).

Long story short, we are now at the point that we have 110 registrations which means we are nearing the stage that we are fully booked.

In 2023 there were 135 registered stands, and if you consider that, maybe you can understand that we are completely amazed by this. To put it into perspective: previously it took roughly 4 months to reacht that number, and now we reached is less than 5 days.

And the mix is awesome already: great names for all sections of our hobby that you could already find at SMC. And some of those vendors have aoberlready informed us that they will come with stunning new releases.

We’re excited. Hopefully you are too.

See you in October!

 

Final vendor list and all new contest classes

Jun 13, 2023 | Contest News, SMC News Updates, Trade News

The SMC contest classes have received a massive overhaul.

We decided to split most of the categories into two levels: standard and master. The majority of these changes have affected the scale modelling classes, although we also looked at the figure classes for this.

Obviously the judging criteria, and the rules to some extend, have also been amended accordingly.

Read more about it on the contest page

And the complete list of vendors is now published too. Don’t forget to check them out (links provided in the list) as all of them will happily take your pre-orders to the show.

See you at SMC 2023, on October 14/15 2023.

SMC 2017 contest news and vendor area sold out

Jan 29, 2017 | Contest News, Trade News

The first month of 2017 is nearly over and we have some news to share.

First of all, we can announce that all sales tables for SMC 2017 are booked and that we do not have any space left. This comes as a surprise to us too, but with still another, almost 9 months to go, this is quite a record.  We will not publish the vendor list until spring 2017, but we can already tell you that we have a number of new names on the list, and that it will also contain a larger number of big and smaller manufacturers than ever before.

Meanwhile, we will keep the registration forms open, but new registrations will be put onto the waiting list and in case space will become available in the next months, we will notify you.

Actually, our sales tables have been sold out since two weeks already, but we have not announced this until now, as we have seriously tried to increase the available space for SMC in general, but have not been able to do so.

Secondly: we have refurbished the contest a bit, and you can find all information about the new or adjusted classes, re-defined rules and judging criteria on the dedicated contest pages.

Stay tuned for more information about SMC 2017!

SMC  2017 Saturday 21st, and Sunday 22nd October 2017.
Be there and make the difference!
