ScaleACT-25 Competition Registration is now OPEN. << CLICK HERE >>
Rego will CLOSE at Midnight on Thursday 6th November.
How do I enter a model in the ScaleACT Competition?
For ScaleACT-25 we have adopted a fabulous new, Australian-made competition management tool called Hobbyshow.Org. Using this system, you will be able to create an account for yourself and register your competition models and even upload a nice photo of your entries!
First - you need to Register with the system. Click the link above then look for the blue 'REGISTER NOW' button.
Registration form
The Entrant registration form is pretty self-explanatory, stick in your Name, eMail, Phone etc...
The one decision you need to make is Entrant Class - this means are you a Junior or Senior modeller - Juniors are young modellers 12 years old or younger - everyone else is a Senior!
When you are done, click the CREATE ACCOUNT button at the bottom of the page!
You can now Log In!
Entrant menu
Once you've Registered and Logged In, you have options to manage your Entries, check Messages and update your personal details.
To register a competition model (an Entry), look for the CREATE NEW ENTRY button on the 'My Entries' page.
Create an Entry (enter a model in the competition)
The Create Entry form is also pretty simple - at the top of the form it will confirm the Show you are entering (ScaleACT-25) and show your Entrant name.
To enter a model, select the right CATEGORY from the list, then enter the Name of your model, it's Manufacturer and Scale.
If you aren't sure which Category-Skill to select, you can read more about them here.
A great feature of Hobbyshow is that you can upload a nice photo of your competition model! Landscape orientation works best (sideways, not vertical) and please keep the image size down to a couple of megabytes.
Finally, you can tick checkboxes to indicate if your entry fits one of our special competitions.
When done, click the Create Entry button!
Success!
After clicking Create Entry, the system will think for a minute (it can take a few seconds to load your photo) then show you the Entry Details page with your shiny new comp entry!
If you only have one model to enter, you're done! You can now Log Out!
If you made a mistake, no worries, click the Edit Entry button to fix it, and if you've more entries to make, hit the Back to Entries button to go again!
(Note: In this example I've used a photo of a real Camel, cause my model ain't finished yet! When it's ready, I'll replace the photo with the 'Upload New Photo' feature!)
Rinse and Repeat!
Now when you are on the Your Entries page, you will see a handy list showing all of the entries you've registered so far so you can see where you are up to - and the Create New Entry button is there waiting for your next entry!
Remember - if you make a mistake, it's easy to fix from the Edit button, and if you need to Delete an entry (we hope you didn't drop it!) that's easy too...
I've forgotten my password!
No worries - on the Login page, you'll find a 'Reset my Password' link!
When does Competition Registration close?
We will close rego at Midnight on Thursday 6th November to let us process the database in time for the comp.
I entered a model, but it's not going to make it to the competition unfortunately.
Easy - Log In and DELETE the model from your My Entries page.
Can I pay my comp entry fees online?
Sorry no - competition entry fees can only be paid in person on Saturday morning when you arrive.
I'm not entering the competition - is this for me?
Nope - this is for competitors who are entering models in the competition only!
Can I enter my Junior's models as well?
All Entrants need their own Account in the system and must use a unique eMail address (it's how the system tells you apart) - so if you have entered for yourself and now want to enter for a Junior, you'll need to create a new ScaleACT Account for them and use a different unique eMail address.
