Contest Rules & Regulations
Journalism Entries
Eligibility
Entries must have been printed, streamed, posted, or in any way produced for public consumption during the calendar year 2017. Some category overlap may occur. Entrants will decide what category to enter. Entries must relate is some way to the topic of automotive heritage, but the organizers intent is to be inclusive. Entrants have an opportunity to describe their entry during the submission process, and we encourage that. If the organizers deem an entry ineligible for any reason it will be returned with a refund of the entry fee.
Timelines
- Entries may be submitted as soon as the Website launches – first week in May.
- Deadline for entries is midnight June 30, 2018.
- Judging begins July 1, 2018, with results due to the organizers on July 14, 2018.
Awards Presentation
The awards will be presented on July 29, 2018, 10 AM at the Brembo Hospitality Tent on the grounds of the Concours d’Elegance of America at St. John’s. In order to attend one must have a valid press credential for Concours. Credentials will be approved for VIP attendees who are not members of the press.
Criteria
We will be honoring stories well told, regardless of media. Each entry will be evaluated by an expert judging team on the basis of overall quality, significance, precision, journalistic integrity, and aesthetics. Judges will be chosen from among the heritage automotive community, including journalists, academics and others who are knowledgeable, respected and steeped in the appreciation of automotive heritage.
