Pop Culture That Pops! - BreyerFest 2024 Diorama Contest
Dynamic and constantly changing, popular culture defines each generation. From music and fashion to entertainment and sports, each decade has its icons and iconography. This year’s BreyerFest look has been inspired by late 90s and early aughts music and design and we are challenging fans to create a diorama, using at least one Breyer model of any scale (excluding CollectA), that depicts one example of the many categories of pop-culture from any decade in the last one hundred years, such as entertainment, sports, fashion, technology, etc.
Open exclusively online to BreyerFest 2024 VIP, All-Access, and Online Traditional Access ticket holders where allowed.* What hot topic will you pick for your entry? The 1950s saw a rock and roll explosion, the 1970s saw Hank Aaron break Babe Ruth’s homerun record, and the 1930s birthed the first feature-length animated Disney film in color – Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Take photographs of your entry and pick the one to four images you like best. Then submit your photograph(s) of your creation via email to be judged and you might win a Glossy Athenian Lady Celebration Horse Model (Estimated Retail Value “ERV” $500 USD)!*
Many will enter, but only twenty (20) will win (five (5) entries in each of four (4) age groups)! See below and Official Rules for details.
Select eligible dioramas will be displayed online in chronological order in each age group so fans can see the evolution of pop culture throughout history as presented by you, our entrants! (Please note: Just because an entry is posted online does not mean it is or will be a winner).
We can’t wait to see your pop culture-inspired creation!
