This contest is open to any model that has, at a previous Model Engineer Exhibition, won either a Silver or a Gold Medal. The issue of Model Engineer dated 17th April 1952 had made the 'important announcement' that the Duke of Edinburgh would open the Model Engineer Exhibition, which was to be held from Monday October 20th until Wednesday October 29th at the New Horticultural Hall, Greycoat Street, Westminster. The following year another significant statement was made as follows: It is with genuine pride and pleasure that we are able to make an announcement which we are sure will thrill model engineers everywhere. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, whose keen interest in model engineering was so clearly apparent at The Model Engineer Exhibition in 1952, has graciously consented to the annual award of a prize which is to be known as The Duke of Edinburgh Challenge Trophy.
