SUPPORT WINTERBLITZ!

Sponsors:

The success of Winterblitz hinges on YOUR generous support. We are seeking Category Sponsors and are asking $25 per category. ($50 for the special/theme/best of awards) Your support will go 100% to securing the awards to be given to the winners. Your name will be prominently displayed below as well as on the contest table the day of the show.


To participate, all you need to do is reach out to us (see below) and either write a check or send a pay pal. It’s just that easy!


In addition to Category Sponsors, we are seeking Major Supporters (such as Model Club Chapters that support the event, hobby shops or generous individuals). Feel free to reach out to us if you are interested in becoming more involved. We have reserved a few special categories to be underwritten by Major Supporters.


Thank you in advance.

Categories and Sponsors:

  1. Theme Award - The Battle of the Bulge - the 80th Anniversary of the epic battle - Sponsored by G&G Hobbies
  2. Tank of the Year - The M4 Sherman Tank - Sponsored by Houston Armor Club
  3. Best of Show - The best of the best.  Who will climb to the top of the styrene mountain and win the Golden Xacto? Sponsored by Lionheart Hobbies
  4. Museum of the American G.I. Award - In tribute to the Museum, an award will be given to the entry that best salutes the spirit of the American G.I.  We will invite the Museum to help the judges pick this one. Sponsored by Capt Andrew Allman and presented by SFC De Haven
  5. Best Fully Tracked - any vehicle, any scale, any era.  Must be fully tracked. Sponsored by SFC De Haven
  6. Best NOT Fully Tracked - any vehicle, any scale, any era.  Must NOT be fully tracked (includes halftracks).
  7. Best NOT Tracked - any vehicle without tracks - think wheels, skis, etc.  No tracks.!  Here is a chance for all soft-skins guy to win a special award!
  8. Best Camouflage/Creative Paint - let's recognize that one modeler who really demonstrates an amazing camouflage job on a vehicle or some other creative form of painting.  This award applies to figures as well as vehicles.
  9. Best Tamiya - Yup, Tamiya is still the go to model manufacturer and we would like to celebrate that by recognizing the BEST Tamiya build at the show.  - Proudly sponsored by TAMIYA
  10. Head Judge Award - Our head judge DOES NOT judge.  He manages the process by mustering, corralling, motivating and sometimes threating (LOL) all the generous judges that volunteer for Winterblitz.  We felt it was appropriate to give the Head Judge the chance to recognize a winner.
  11. Crowd Pleaser Award - Whose build best catches the eye of YOU... the crowd!  To figure this one out, we will let YOU decide.  One vote for person.  The winner of this award is determined your peers and friends.
  12. Her Majesty's Service Award - The BEST model in service to Queen Eliabeth II (1952 - 2022).   Something for the folks who like to dabble in British Armor!  - Sponsored by Eric Choy
