VCF Midwest 4.0 - Exhibition

The Vintage Computer Festival wants you to display the pride of your collection at VCF Midwest 4.0. Every collector has a machine or two in their collection that is in exceptional condition, or is extremely rare, or has a good story behind it, etc. Or perhaps you're a programmer and have written a great simulator of some grand old machine. Or maybe you've built a wonderful re-creation of a significant machine of the past. Now's your chance to show it off to other hobbyists!

Not only is this your chance to show off the pride of your collection, but your exhibit could also win the coveted Best of Show award! First, Second and Third place prizes will be awarded with a ribbon based on the votes your exhibit garners from VCF attendees.
