TigerCon is held each year in early November. Centrally located in Columbia, modelers from all parts of Region14 attend this local contest and vendor fair.
TigerCon is open to all modelers. You do not need to be an IPMS member to enter. TigerCon awards 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each model category, with judging following the IPMS rules and "no sweeps" per category. There are five additional awards for "Best in Class" (figures, cars, etc.), which are topped off with trophies for "Best of Show" and "People's Choice". Each year an optional theme is chosen with its own "Theme Champion" award. This year's theme is "Movie Icons".
Throughout the event an ongoing raffle will award kits to attendees. For the kids, there is a free Make-n-Take booth. The popular Non-Competition table (presentation only) will again be available. The facility is handicap accessible.
