The purpose of the Oregon Council Trophy Competition is to encourage Oregon club members to participate in their own and other club shows whether they are competitive or non-competitive and to be creative in developing their exhibits.
This will also create public interest in seeing new displays at our shows through the use of NEW ideas or CONCEPTS, SHOWMANSHIP and PUBLIC APPEAL in presenting one or more aspects of the hobby. The trophy will have the winner's name engraved on the nameplate. It will l be retained by the winner for one year or until the next Oregon Council All Oregon Material competition.
The President of the Oregon Council will obtain permission to have this contest from the host club's president!! the show and hosting the Oregon Council meeting.
The OCRMC will provide judges and the trophy for this "All Oregon Material Competition."
