A: All prospective participants who have won championships, competitions, contests, Gunpla Builder competition championships or similar competitions, either at the International, National or Regional levels are not allowed to take part in the Beginner Course or Students Course.

Meanwhile, if it is a regional-scale community competition whose participants are between gundam communities , then it is not allowed. Please join the Pro Course.
Q: I have a Model Kit that has been an entry in another Gunpla (Model Kit) competition, may I register it as an entry in the GB Master Championship? A: Perhaps during these works have never been champion or won the award or any award. The work can follow the Beginner Course or Students Course according to the provisions and as long as it meets the requirements in one of these categories. Make sure the work is a personal work, not the work of a team or someone else, if in another competition the work has been registered on behalf of another person, the entry will automatically be disqualified and considered the work of someone else Make sure historically the work is always registered as an entry under the same name.
Q: My entry has never won in another competition, but has received a visitor's choice award, can I register it as an entry in the GB Master Championship competition? A: Sorry I can't. Works that have been champions or have received awards / awards / prizes in similar competitions are considered invalid as entries in the GB Master Championship?

A: Yes, of course, anyone can join the Pro Course (Professional Course) as long as they follow the rules and challenges of the Pro Course. There is no age limit here.
Q: Does the entry that is registered have to be a new work created at this time? A: You may include your old works as entries, as long as they meet the requirements of the Course you choose, it doesn't matter. But specifically for the Pro Course (Professional Course) it can't. Because in the Pro Course there will be Specific Challenges, so it requires that the entry you submit is a work that was really just made during this WIP competition.
Q: Why are there specific challenges on the Pro Course that will be announced later? A: Our Pro Course (Professional Course) is specially designed for professional Gunpla Builders or Pro Modellers who already have great abilities / skills / winning skills. Of course, the contestants on this Course will not face any problems if they are given specific specific challenges to add to the excitement of the competition and provide opportunities for Beginner Course and Student Course participants to compete for various Special Awards that we have provided.
Q:What are the specific challenges? And why was it announced later? A: Specific challenges can be in the form of a special kit that must be used as an entry, or there are special conditions that must be met by the work as an entry, or it can be a special challenge, it is not allowed to use certain kits or parts as custom parts and so on. This will be announced later to provide an opportunity for Course Students and Beginner Courses to start working on their work first and compete in quality. On the other hand, Pro participants will be able to work on their work after clarity and announcement of specific challenges will be announced by the committee later.
Q: I want to take the Pro Course with more than 1 entry, is it possible?
A: You can, but keep in mind that in the Pro Course there is a WIP time limit (1 month) and there are Specific Challenges that must be met by each entry. Making more than 1 entry will certainly be very draining and can result in loss of focus.
Q: Sis, I have never won or received any awards in similar competitions, but I want to take the Pro Course and also join the Beginner Course at the same time, is it allowed to register in these 2 different courses?
A: Yes, please register in 2 or even 3 different courses as long as you meet all the requirements required by each course.
Q: Is it possible to use a military kit model to support the diorama?
A: Yes, Beginner Course and Students Course are allowed, as long as the brand used for the military kit model is not a bootleg or pirated brand. Also make sure the model kit is a plastic model kit, not a resin kit, not 3D printing etc.
Q: Are plastic model kits outside the Gundam Universe allowed? e.g. Pat Labor, Space Dog, Evangelion, Macros...etc
A: Plasmo Mecha outside the Gundam universe are not prohibited from being included as entries, but the 123 prizes (Champion & Runner Up 1-2) will be prioritized on works that have a Gundam theme only. While the other 14 Special Awards are still open for non-Gundam Mecha themes, this only applies to the Beginner Course and Student Course. The Pro Course will have its own terms and conditions.
Q: Are the Custom and Repaint Classes on the Beginner Course combined?
A: More precisely, the jury's assessment includes 5 aspects, namely Concept (Idea), Custom (Craftmanship), Painting, Mechanical Design, Photography (appearance). But especially for the winners of the Special Awards; Best Concept, Best Custom, Best Painting, Best Mechanical, Best Photography, of course, only the assessment at that point will be taken as a determination. (So as an example, for example, Best Painting will be taken from the entry / work with the best/highest Painting value, regardless of the other 4 aspects of the assessment. It could be that the winner of Painting is a standard gunpla kit without any custom, because only point painting is seen here.) Likewise with other Best awards. So when we talk about Custom contests, we have the Best Custom Award, while when it comes to Repaint Contest we also have the Best Painting Award.
Q: After Registration is complete, what is the next step?
A: Please make your model kit work and when it's time to "Submit Entry" please upload a photo of your work on the Submit Entry form, don't forget to also enter the Verification Code that has been given by the committee in the email of each participant.

Registration is the registration of Participants' Personal Data on the selected Course as well as the number of entries to be followed. (One Participant Name may enter more than one work as entries.)
Q: Is the diorama rated or not? A: Diorama, Background, Stand Base, and supporting plastic model kits are only to support the assessment. The main assessment is on the work of Gunpla Kit. As for the aspect of concept assessment, of course, the presence of a diorama/background/standbase will have an effect on clarifying the concept or even blurring the concept to be conveyed, as well as on the assessment of photography (appearance), the presence of a diorama/background/standbase will also more or less affect the assessment of photography (appearance). ) can increase the score or it can be a minus factor.

So the parts of the gunpla that have a mechanical design form will have their own point assessment, such as driving gears, hydraulic components, manipulator designs, rocket nozzles, absorber units, and so on. Gunpla is not seen as a toy, but evolved as a form of scaled robotic mockup that embodies the design of future robotics technology. Later, one of the judges will be a Mechanical Design expert from Petra University, a Master in Mechanical Engineering.
