Cast your votes for the 2025 Whiffie awards


The polls for the 2025 Whiffies are up now. I sincerely hope I didn't forget anyone or missed a nomination!
This year 158 models were nominated, built by 68 different members. This led to 203 contenders in 19 categories. Because of the large number of single and multi-engined jets, I had to create a new category for "UK jets".

You will be able to cast a total of 48 votes each. The polls will be up until Wednesday 22nd of February 20:00 CET. The polls say a later date but that is because I want to close them manually and not let them expire. The 22nd of February 20:00 CET is the closing of the voting.
The award show will take place on Sunday the 2nd of March from 20:00 CET.
Let's all vote for our favourite models of 2024!

............and I've already voted! Not an easy job, and I must admit that it took assistance from Madame Rheged and Rheged Minor to make some decisions.  They add their congratulations to all who have entered, and to the academy for this feat of organization; as do I.

Voted....I think. Wasn't sure what the next step was after the horizontal bars came up.

There are a couple of glitches in labelling the images, I think, but worked around them.

But many great entries this year, folks, and a great job done organizing everything.

Difficult to choose a winner, I have tried not to vote twice for the same build but spread the votes. The standard is very high.

Voted!
... quick and dirty, not taking time to analyze too much: just pick ones that appeal - and then pare down

Cheers Tom

I shall get around to voting over the next day or two  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Got around to voting and I swear it gets more difficult every year.

And I'd just like to thank Tom for setting this up, because I know just how difficult it can be to set up the poll at the end of a GB let alone add in all the complexities of this annual poll.

I salute  you sir  :bow:

Same here, finally finished the voting. Indeed, every year seems to be harder to vote.
Lots of great models, stories and pics so, congrats to everyone!  :mellow:
I can only imagine the amount of work it is to set this up so, i also want to thank Tom for making this happen. It's an important event of our calendar and it's much appreciated! :thumbsup:

:cheers:

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Yeah, thanks Tom.
Not something i'd choose to do so i'm doubly grateful when there is a volunteer.

Kudos mate.
 :thumbsup:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
