Merit Awards are special awards which are sponsored
by the Achievement Program. They may be granted by either the official
judges at National, Region, or Division model contests, or by two or more
special
judges appointed
by the Regional or Divisional Achievement Program Manager to view and judge
the models of the member requesting certification at an agreed upon location.
Merit Awards shall be granted to models receiving
a total point score of 70% of the total points ( 87 1/2 out of 125 points
in other words.)
The Golden Spike is the easiest, and for many
people, the first Achievement Program award that they earn. It is designed
to demonstrate familiarity with different areas of the hobby, rather than
expertise in
a particular area. So take a look at the requirements - you may find that
you have met most, or all of them already.
