Never Surrender

Wright Field Scale Modelers (WFSM) is pleased to announce WrightCon, the 2020 IPMS-USA Region IV Convention, will be held online only this year. The unofficial theme will be “Never Surrender.”

While the pandemic may have put the kibosh on every other model show in Region IV, and throughout most of the US, WFSM refuses to yield to yield to the virus.  It is our desire to bring our friends in Region IV an enjoyable, if somewhat unorthodox, Regional this year. WrightCon will return to its normal in-person format when the pandemic is over.

WrightCon 2020 will be presented in a virtual format, and we invite you to join us in this grand experiment.   Elements of the event will include an

Judging will resemble traditional IPMS judging, with teams of judges evaluating entry photos uploaded to the WrightCon website and collaborating via video teleconference.  Judging criteria and approach will be based on the IPMS-USA Competition Handbook.  Judging will be conducted over a 1-week period from the closing of registration to best accommodate the virtual format and the remote judging teams.  Additional details are available at the WrightCon website.

Virtual Vendor Room

Vendors will be listed with a link to a website, webstore, or a list of available kits. Delivery arrangements will be worked out between the vendor and the buyer.

Door prizes
