Question about the contest and attending JF....

[sktch4fn]

Hi guys!

Unfortunately, due to some recent financial problems, I will not be able to stay for the whole weekend at JF but I'd like to come either Saturday or Sunday for the contest. If I do go on Saturday and pick my kits up late that day, according to the website I would qualify for Gold, Silver and Bronze but not the Special Awards given on Sunday, but if I go on Sunday morning, I will qualify for Special awards and not the Gold, Silver and bronze awards?

I think Saturday is the busiest day and maybe the best to go but because I can not spend a lot, will Sunday be a better day to attend? I've never been so any tips will be great

Thank you

Edison

I'll let the JerseyFest folks pipe in on the awards, but from my understanding, as long as a piece is in by 11am Sunday, its qualified for any award, both the gold, silver, bronze and the specials. As far as which day to go for buying...as with any show, theres limited amount of goodies the venders bring and obviously the hot stuff goes pretty quick. Thats not to say there isn't plenty to be had on Sunday..but I do most of my kit buying on Saturday. I have picked up a few good deals late Sunday...venders rather deal than pack it back up, but thats a crap shoot. That all being said...the best day for the contest room is Sunday...more great work to see! Hoping the new venue will have more space and great lighting!
