EU categories were brought to life in 2004 by 4 newly joined EU members' model clubs: Koprivnice from Czech Republic, Poprád from Slovakia, Bytom from Poland and Mosonmagyaróvár from Hungary assembled for a friendly union. Our goal is to commemorate our EU joining and to adwertise the junior and adult modeling.
In these special categories, those models can be entered that represent aircrafts and vehicles of EU armies and air forces (formerly and currently present). Judging is done by members of the founding clubs with a judging teams of 3 people. Order of models is calculated by averaging the orders on each individual judging paper.
Entering the models is only possible on the spot, at a dedicated table. Entering the models into EU categories is free of charge.

Awards: As described above, judging is done separeately from the basic competetion judging. In the announced categories, the first 3 models will get awarded. Those modelers that in a year, receive at least 3 first prices with the same model on the founding clubs' competetions will earn the honourable title "lifelong owner of the EU cup" and will receive the challenge-cup.
