It is an annual highlight of NSXPO to participate in the Concours. This no white Glove contest, but rather more of a boxing glove brawl, where the only rules are that you must complete the entry form to be considered for an award. If you don’t fill out the form, you can’t Win!,
Judging is completely subjective, whimsical, and capricious. If you don’t agree, then volunteer to be a judge next year! This year’s judges: Mark Hicks, Maria Herrera-Hicks, Wei-Shen Chin, Lud, Larry Bastanza, Brian Durand, Don Nowak, Ken Gladden, John Iannone, Regine Jarrett
