Fellow armor modelers and enthusiasts,
With the AMPS 2022 International convention 30 days away, the show team is trying to close the gap on funding all levels of the categories which means we rely heavily on sponsors like individual members and AMPS chapters. Below is a list of the remaining categories that need sponsorship as soon as possible. AMPS appreciates all those who have sponsored categories for this show to date and does not take members’ generosity for granted. We all recognize the cost of everything associated with traveling to the show like gas and food are continually going up meaning a bit less to spend at the show. So, as you are finalizing your ‘show budget,’ perhaps you can find a way to include sponsoring one or more of the following award categories:
All three categories (Basic $20, Intermediate $20, Advanced $20) are available for the below Primary category awards.
