Welcome to the Isolation Island Concours d'Elegance. This is an online concours d'elegance event started in the end of March of 2020 by friends Chairman Andy Reid and Vice-Chairman Dirk de Jager. The event takes place on our Facebook page and is for diecast/resin model cars that will be judged by top tier concours judges. All of these judges also judge at Amelia Island, Hampton Court, Pebble Beach and other top Concours events. This first event will run for two weeks and then be judged. At that point and all winners will receive a trophy, just like a live concours. Everything takes place at our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Isolationislandheadjudge
We decided to start this event while complaining about the fact that there were no concours events to attend. Actually I was cleaning my office and wondering how I had personally acquired so many model cars. I had just seen my friend VU at the Porsche Club Of America host his own cars and coffee on the carpet with his own cars and decided to expand the idea into an international judged concours. The Concours name was though of by Bill Warner so you can blame him for that part.
The Isolation Island Concours will run about every four weeks with change ups in the classes and such, based on suggestions and lessons learned from the previous events

YES YOU NEED TO READ THE WHOLE THING
HOW TO ENTER: To enter go to our Facebook page (you can click the facebook link on the bottom of the page) find the post on our page of your class and MAKE A COMMENT WITHIN THE POST FOR YOUR CLASS and NOT ON THE MAIN PAGE. Be sure to KEEP READING so you know the rest of the rules below. Add a picture and the post the other 3 or so pictures AS COMMENTS TO YOUR COMMENT. Facebook only allows one photo per comment and doing this keeps your cars pictures together.
1. You are limited to a single car submission per person. That does not mean one car per class, it means ONE CAR PER EVENT.
2. ONLY ONE CAR MODEL IN A COLOR IN EACH CLASS: Before you post your car check the previous submissions to be sure you are not posting same, make, model and color car as someone else. The first person who posts - FOR EXAMPLE THE FIRST SILVER 300SL GULLWING - IS THE ONE WHO GETS TO ENTER PERIOD. It does not matter if it was made by a different die cast company. IF THE CAR IS IN A DIFFERENT RACING LIVERY, SAY A SILVER 1955 LE MANS 300SL AND ANOTHER IS A SILVER CARRERA PANAMERICA LIVERIED 300SL THAT IS ACCEPTABLE.
3. SCALE: Cars should be in 1/43, 1/24, or 1/18 scale. Please no 1/64 or smaller except in the Misfit Toys class.
4. PRICE LIMIT: Again to help make this inclusive to as many as possible we have set a price limit of NO MORE THAN $350 DOLLAR COST for your car.
5. PICTURES OF YOUR CAR: When submitting your car, we need 4-6 pictures of the car. Take a little time to get the best pictures you can. Do these from different angles. If your car has a nice interior please include it as well. An iPhone is a perfectly good tool to do this with. You can get as creative as you like. Do keep in mind that we are using French Rules so we will not be judging engine compartments. If you want to show the engine please do but it will not effect judging.
6. EACH CLASS IS LIMITED TO A TOTAL OF 25 CARS: Cars entered after that number is reached will not be included so please take the time to count the number of cars in a class before entering.
7. TELL THE STORY IN YOUR POST: In addition, just like a real concours, we need to know about your story with this car; why you like it, what it mean to you. This can effect judging outcomes so take some time with this.
8. PLEASE GIVE SOMETHING BACK IN YOU ARE ABLE: Finally we ask you to make a small donation to a community food bank or first responders charity in your area. This is on the honor system as you are likely to come from all over the world. Anything is good and this is on the honor system. If you can only give a dollar, please give a dollar. Also please call out the charity you gave to in your post description.
