I was interested in going to the IL or WI Ipms shows this year. Do you have to be a member of an IPMS chapter to enter the contest?
At local or regional contests you GENERALLY do not need to be an IPMS member in order to enter a model. Membership IS required at the national level.
As always, check with the sponsoring organization for specific entry requirements.
I don’t think you have to be IPMS for Mad city show…
You do not need to be a member of an IPMS Chapter to enter any contest I’m aware of. You do need to be a member of the national IPMS USA, or affiliated international IPMS organizations, to enter the Nationals. However, many of the local Invitational & Regional contests do offer a small discount on entry fees for IPMS members.

I just reasearched it, and No, you don’t have to belong to a chapter, but yes, you may get extra goodies, disconts, etc.
