Happiness is... Extraordinary Exhibits at the 2020 Seattle Miniature Show

Hours and hours are spent perfecting these works of art— houses, room boxes, vignettes under domes, structures in small scales, and much more. Many are years in the making! Take your time, bring your camera and vote for your favorites. Extraordinary exhibits are sure to spark your own creativity!

Earn free admission!  Win a cash prize!

Exhibitors contribute so much to the success of the show that they are not charged admission. Customers, dealers and exhibitors receive a ballot which is cast on Saturday, and tabulated Saturday night. The winners are announced Sunday morning and receive "mini bucks" which dealers will accept as cash at Sunday's show.

Happiness is also ... showing off your own hard work and sharing with others
