Let your imagination take to the air on wings of paper!
Come just for fun or for some serious competition. Hack a plane together on-site or bring some masterpieces with you. See gravity-defying flights, graceful landings, and spectacular crashes! Over $100 worth of prizes will be awarded. Rules are simple: airplanes may be made beforehand or on-site, and anyone may throw the plane (you, a designated thrower, or a judge). Airplanes must be made entirely of paper. Glue and cellophane tape are allowed for adhesive purposes only, not heaped on for for ballast. Paper lamination is acceptable. Aesthetics event special rules are that entries are scored on two equally weighted attributes: 1) appearance, and 2) grace/aerobatics in flight.
