Show admission & contest participation

Show admission & contest participation
  • Workshop participants are requested to enter the show via the fast entry lanes, thus avoiding the inevitable queue at the entrance in the morning.
  • Workshop participants for morning sessions, and who enter models into the SMC contest, are invited to use the priority check-in lane in the contest registration room on Saturday, so they can be at their workshop in time.
    Therefore it is recommended that you pre-register your models for the contest. Pre-registration for the contest opens August 1,  and closes September 30.
  • SMC 2023 admission tickets can be purchased online separately and also at the ticket counters during the show.
