FAQ
Open worldwide. You must be 16+. Each entrant may submit a maximum of 2 entries overall. Registration is online only and closes August 9th at 23:59.
Displaying your custom at the event is optional. If you choose to display, you must deliver and collect your piece in person during the event. Uncollected models at the end of the event will be donated to charity.
Entries displayed in person will be shown 'loose' (unboxed). Organisers will take reasonable care but are not responsible for loss or damage. Only judges, staff, and the owner can touch entries. Handling another entrant's custom is grounds for immediate disqualification.
All builds must be original work by the entrant. No plagiarised pieces allowed. Any attempt to manipulate the judging will result in immediate disqualification.
The organisation reserves the right to modify categories if necessary and refuse entries that do not meet guidelines. For logistical questions, contact: customs@iconscollectibles.com.
