Voting Categories
All participants are elligible to vote for who they think wins each category; voting tickets are provided upon entry and when purchasing food.
Best Executed
Best Executed will go to the most pristine car entered. The cuts are sharp, there's no tear-out, the curves are even on all sides, the paint lines are straight, and the car, in general, looks like a showcase of precision craftsmanship.
Most Original
Most Original will go to the car unlike any other. A truly lovecraftian concept pulled from the depths of the most tortured (or intoxicated) mind, and then turned into a wooden shape on wheels.
Most Technical
Most Technical will go to the craftsperson who best shows off his or her skills with the power or hand tools of their trade.
