Alamo Squadron conducts monthly model contests, with approximately ten contests per year. Popular vote among club members determines first, second, and third place. Each January, the club holds its Model of the Year (MOY) contest. Any model which has placed in one of the previous year’s monthly contests is eligible. The modeler must be a club member who is current on dues. Popular vote among club members again determines the winning model. The updated MOY trophy is presented to the winning modeler in the February club meeting. The winner is allowed to take possession of the trophy for one year and is invited to write an article about the winning model for the club’s newsletter.
