Sanctioned Event Calendar Listing and Ad Information
Event Sanction Requests:
Sanction requests may be submitted online using our “Contest Director” portal or via the US Mail. A guide for creating an online sanction may be found on the AMA website (modelaircraft.org/files/cdhelp.pdf). Mailed applications MUST GO DIRECTLY to the District Contest Coordinator for the District in which the event will take place. The exceptions are class “D” events, FAI and National Record attempts, which are to be sent directly to AMA Headquarters, Attn: Competition Dept.
A current listing of all Contest Coordinators may be found on the AMA website at modelaircraft.org/events/contestcoordinators.aspx
Normal Calendar Listing:
When an AMA sanction is issued for an event, the event will be listed automatically in the Sanctioned Event Calendar section if received in time. Sanction forms and sanction listing forms should be mailed to your Contest Coordinator (except demos). The listing will give the date, place, and name of the event—plus competition events, flying site, and Contest Director name and address. Use of Supplementary (paid) ad space is suggested for the description of unusual or special events, deviations from AMA rules, or significant aspects of a meet. Paid ads may also be helpful in promoting fun-fly-type meets or to give directions to the flying site. There is a $10.00 fee for Non-Flying Event Listings. Applications are available from AMA Headquarters, Competitions Department. Mail this application and the $10.00 fee directly to AMA Headquarters. For more details, check our website: modelaircraft.org.
Supplementary Print Ads:
Display ads can be inserted in the Sanctioned Event Calendar by paying a fee. These ads are accepted for AMA-sanctioned events or AMA club-sponsored non-fly events only. Ad sizes are 1⅝-inch wide and either 1½- or 2¼-inches high. Only these sizes will be accepted. Fees are based on ad size. 1½-inch—$35 per issue; 2¼-inch—$45 per issue (payable in advance).
Ad Preparation:
No ad can be larger than 1⅝-inch wide by 2¼ inches high. Artwork and ad text must be black on a white background. Tints or screens of black (grays) do not reproduce well. Photographs cannot be used in Supplementary Ads. Please send original pdf or jpeg files. If sending a printed copy, good-quality paper is recommended, however even good-quality photocopies do not reproduce well.
Every effort will be made to place the Supplementary Ad next to the text listing, however, placement is not guaranteed. (We reserve the right to charge extra for ads not of reproducible quality and/or ads that do not meet our size requirements.)
SUBMITTAL DEADLINE:
There is normally a two-month lead time required for inserting a Supplementary Ad in Model Aviation. The same deadline will apply to sanctioned events listings. Every effort will be made to include Supplementary Ads received by the 14th of the month in the issue reaching readers approximately the fourth week of the following month. However, this cannot be guaranteed, as ads are published on a space-available basis only!
Questions about either Sanctioned Events listings or Supplementary Ads should be directed to AMA’s Competition Department at (765) 287-1256, ext. 252. Send ads to: AMA Headquarters, Attn: Competition Dept., 5161 E. Memorial Dr., Muncie IN 47302 or via email to: competition@modelaircraft.org.
