We are going to try something different for 2024. Based on some feedback from earlier this year, the rules for the square foot challenge in 2024 will be as follows:
- Railroad themed.
- Entry must include a piece of track.
- Entry can be of arbitrary shape as long as it has a footprint of 144 square inches. A rectilinear shape is preferred, with the smallest side being 4” or greater.
- No limit on height.
- For odd shaped entries that are not readily measurable , it is up to the person entering to show that the entry is 144 sq in.
Entries can be prototypical or whimsical, this is a chance to try something new and show off your creativity.
Entries in the Square Foot Challenge do not require any contest paperwork. Judging is by popular vote. However, if desired by the entrant, it can also be judged as a diorama which would require contest paperwork to be filled out.
