Car Show Community Judging Criteria
Community Judging
The community will decide the winners of the car shows. A unique web page will be created on the Spirit of the Fair website for each car show so that people can vote on their favorite cars right from their smartphones. There will also be a paper form to fill out and drop into a voting box so that no one is excluded. Everyone will have to fill out their information to be counted for voting and will receive a raffle ticket for the Grand Prize Drawing once they have submitted their votes.
Cars will be marked accordingly. Each vehicle will have a flier on the front dash with all the pertinent information for voters to be able to cast their votes. Everyone will be allowed to make one submission. They must all provide a valid phone number and email address for their votes to be counted.
When they are finished voting, they will submit their entries and the winners of the car shows will be counted and announced at the end of each day at the event (preferably at the evening’s main event) and on social media.
SHOW CAR JUDGING CRITERIA
Below is a guide used to judge a show. The top 3 scores will win a special event trophy provided by TAZ Fabrication. In the event of a tie for points, the winner will be decided by the total number of ‘Favorite Car’ votes.

Scoring Explained
Exterior Quality – 10 points
What is the quality of the bodywork and paint? If the bodywork has been altered, has it been done well? Is the finish just shiny or deep and lustrous? Is the paint smooth or orange peeled? Any overspray, runs, ripples, etc.? Dents? Chips? Are body kit seams smooth and straight? All panels aligned? Any doors sagging? Bumpers on straight? Glass squeaky clean? All cars should have a perfect cleaning and waxing.
Tire & Wheel Quality – 10 points
Do the wheels look new? Are there any visible scratches on the wheels? Have the tires been cleaned and shined? Do the tires have plenty of tread? Is there any visible dirt or break dust?
Interior Quality – 10 points
Is everything in good condition or truly excellent? Are the seats perfect and clean or ripped and dirty? Is the headliner intact and tight or drooping and baggy? Are the carpets clean and new looking or dirty and worn? Have modifications, such as gauges or aftermarket seats, been hacked in, or are they professional looking? Are the sun visors in good shape? Door panels? Every piece of the interior should be perfectly clean and prepared; there should be no dirt under the floor mats or junk under the seats. Look at the trunk or hatch. It should be prepared to the same perfect state as the interior.
Overall Cleanliness – 10 points
This is self-explanatory. Every part of the car from front to back and top to bottom should be clean. Things that should be shiny should shine. Things that should be polished should be polished. This includes the trunk or hatch; the glove box, the grille, the doorsills, and under the floor mats. No fabric or leather should show stains of any kind.
Overall Impression – 10 points
This is a subjective category that needs some thought. The point here is the total quality of the car in all of the categories above, and how well everything hangs together.
