The city of Torrent will become a meeting point for static model making enthusiasts and professionals from April 10 to 12, with the celebration of the 30th edition of its prestigious Contest-Fair.

Organized by the Asociación Modelista Torrent (AMT), the event will take place at the Las Américas Shopping Center and will host participants from various regions of Spain and abroad. This competition, already consolidated in the model making calendar, will offer the public the opportunity to discover models, figures, and dioramas crafted with a high level of detail and precision.
The exhibited pieces will recreate historical scenes, vehicles, aircraft, characters, and fantasy universes, combining technique, creativity, and artisanal work. This 30th edition represents a significant milestone for the AMT, which has promoted this discipline as an artistic, cultural, and educational manifestation for decades.
Since its inception, the contest has sought to create a space for the exchange of knowledge and learning among model makers of all ages and skill levels. Throughout the weekend, the Las Américas Shopping Center will not only host the contest but also a specialized fair with exhibitors and a wide display of pieces, with free admission for all interested parties.

"Torrent once again hosts a very special edition of this prestigious event that brings together artists and model making enthusiasts from different countries."

Amparo Folgado · Mayor of Torrent
The competition includes a wide variety of categories, such as aviation, civilian and military vehicles, historical figures, dioramas, science fiction and fantasy, wargame, miscellaneous, naval modeling, and a junior section for participants up to 16 years old. The awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, April 12, at 13:00 hours, where the most outstanding works will be recognized for their technical quality and creativity.

"Reaching the 30th edition of this contest is a source of enormous satisfaction for our association."
