Model of the Month Contest

On odd-numbered months, IPMS Livonia holds a Model-of-the Month Contest.  Members vote for their top 3 model choices, in both Adult and Junior categories.    Members are then awarded a number of points based on the model standings.

At the end of the year, the member with the most Model-of-the-Month points becomes the Modeller Of The Year.
