Acceptance & Denial emails have gone out. Please check your email!
Additional event information will be sent by email regularly, stay tuned.

Now is the time to submit your show vehicle for consideration—
before the December 1st deadline!

Motorcar Cavalcade celebrates any and every distinguished vehicle—from the dawn of motoring to the most advanced hypercars in the world. Although all vehicles that ultimately are displayed on the show field are curated through our Selection Committee – anyone may submit any vehicle for consideration.

This is your opportunity to share your favorite vehicle with your favorite people in a gourmet, grand garden party experience. So get your picnic blanket, best attire, favorite hat and driving gloves ready—we hope to see you on the lawn!

Our Selection Committee reviews all applications and will accept entries that stand out from the rest; truly special, significant, newsworthy, distinguished, or unique vehicles. During the submission process, you will be asked to tell us about your vehicle. This information is used by our Committee to help determine acceptability of your vehicle on the show field, and if accepted, to what class your vehicle will be assigned to and ultimately judged in. If your vehicle is accepted, you will receive an email and text notification no later than mid-December – along with confirmation and Entrant instructions.

Due to the overwhelming number of submissions received throughout the year, it is critical that you submit your vehicle early. The sooner you submit, the greater the chance you have of getting a spot on the show field.

And so, submit for consideration as early as possible, as applications will far exceed available spots on the show field.
We hope to see you on February 1st! To learn more about the event, visit The Event page!

“Although the cars are the stars of the show, equally as important is the social gathering—because the only thing more remarkable than these cars is the community they create; the camaraderie and fellowship of enthusiasts brought together through a unifying passion for automobiles and their desire to share it.”

-Jason Wenig - Co-Executive Director

Vehicle Classification

Unique to Motorcar Cavalcade is our approach to honoring all extraordinary vehicles – from the dawn of motoring, to the state-of-the-art, and all of the wonderful variants in between.

Although our cars will be on the show field being judged for awards, our ultimate goal is to provide a palette of design, engineering, style and history – for both our car community to enjoy – but perhaps more importantly, to invite in and share with the admiring public – folks who may not immediately understand what we perhaps take for granted – how incredible and important the art of the automobile is.

We take our classes, judging and awards seriously, however, our event is not as much about winning awards, as it is about sharing our passion for the automobile with others.

JUDGING & AWARDS

Motorcar Cavalcade will present some of the world’s finest automobiles. To acknowledge these extraordinary vehicles, awards and recognition will be given to the vehicles that stand above the rest—the vehicles with that certain “X factor.”

Awards will be given per class—Best in Class and two class recognition awards—as well as “Major” awards, based on special, predetermined criteria. Unique to our event, all vehicles are eligible for our coveted Modern or Classic Era, “Best of Show” awards.

The Concours Chief Judge and Executive Committee creates groups of Judges who will be assigned to specific classes and Major award categories. It will be the Judges’ responsibility to find the cars that best exemplify the merits of, and the emotional connection between the specific award they are responsible for and the cars on the field.

It is our goal to have remarkable people judging remarkable cars.

Our VIP Judges are just as unique as the cars they are judging; designers, historians, engineers, musicians, professors, CEO’s, artists and more—their unique perspective will provide an unbiased evaluation of the cars on the field. This approach allows seemingly disparate cars to be evaluated together.

Our VIP Judges will be assigned experienced Docent judges to help guide the process. These technically and traditionally trained Concours Judges will ensure knowledgeable and experienced hands are present to help with tie breakers, special considerations and other variables that surface when dealing with the complex task of choosing amongst the finest and most exquisite cars in the world.

In addition to our “Award Judges” and “Docent Judges,” our Chief Judge will oversee the showfield. All told, our judging and awards process is designed to allow a remarkable array of vehicles to be judged in the most dynamic, fair and enjoyable way—for entrants and spectators alike.
