Over $1000 in prize money being award to pinball machines!

We know how difficult it is to bring a pinball machine to a pinball show, and what better why to make it worth while than to award those that do. So in an effort for exhibitors to not only bring more, but also better quality pinball machines for people to play, we'll be awarding over $1000 in prize money to Best of Show winner machines. Prizes will be awarded based off of their condition and playability in a variety of categories.  Please click on the following links for more information on the Best of Show competitions or if you'd like to bring a machine to the Festival.
