Mid-Central Region NMRA		Charlie Keeling Monthly Model Contest

We have a virtual model contest each month and the results are announced at our Division 8 General Meeting. Voting is personal preference. Formal judging is not part ofthe monthly contest. The contest year runs from August to June and points earned are totaled for the contest year. There is no contest in July, but at the annual Division 8 July Picnic, awards for first, second, and third are presented to the members earning the most points for the contest year.
