Following the success of the first contest at the 2008 edition of the SILMO, the association MOF Lunetiers was created, to officially represent the discipline, in France but also internationally. It was founded by the 14 MOF Lunetiers present at this first show. Every year, she is represented there, it was still the case on the edition of the SILMO 2015.
