You have a section set aside for the "online" submitted cars. Then you have a separate set of awards for EVERY car there.
We do car shows with 400 cars and what not. Clubs will build their own trophies and walk around and vote. For this kind of set up why not have each vendor go around and vote.
So you'd have a few awards... not 15... for the online entrants. Those get the special parking. Those cars are eligible for a select group of awards. Then you have another set that includes ALL the cars in the lot.
Can be staff favorite, Vendors choices, farthest drive. Etc.
That will help everyone that drove out there and spent time and money on their cars feel involved. It doesn't really take that much time to walk around and check out all the cars. We do it at MUCH larger venues...
I still think Kelly Park in SJ is a sweet venue. Grills on site. It's a park. Mad mad parking for entrants and walk ins. Etc.

There is an easy solution to that.

Yeah... all you have to do is print out a bunch of little cards. The cars get one when they pull in. Prenumbered. All they do is right there name on the card and the screen name.
Then when they're picked for something that number/name combo is called up. If you leave before the awards are giving out you loose out. Someone else gets the pick. It's a killer way to get accurate car count for the event as well.
If the vendors do it maybe they can do a shirt/sticker prize back of their choice for their choice. Could be just a shirt or hat or whatever they feel like throwing down if they want to try to out do eachother. LOL!
For the staff pick maybe you get some i-club stickers and a free event shirt and a tag under your user name for the next year...

Car Info: 2004 Big Booty STi with a two finger gap.
Hey y'all.... After working an insane amount this week I've finally had a chance to relax with a beer and peruse the BAIC Forum's "official picture thread" and this thread and just had lil something to say.
I'm Dave BTW, the tall, goofy white guy with the whiteboyafro(tm). Owner/Builder of the "two finger gappin," "best of show" Darker Grey Metallic widebody.
The primary reason I entered the car show (first time I've ever "showed" a car) was literally to "SHOW" other people what I had done with *my* Scooby. I'm Dave and I have a problem lol. A Subaru problem, to be honest... The second reason I wanted to enter was due to the comments I received last year at BAM in the parking lot. I got a lot of positive feedback, even as a really new transplant from the Islands. (First BAM... barely knew a soul.)
I also thought that for $20 it would be killer to park inside the event as well (to be 100% honest.)
This car was built on an remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Only my close friends/family in Hawaii, Noah and Adam at LIC Motorsports, EQ Tuning staff past and present, and Tim Barber @ Infineon have had a chance to appreciate, laugh at, bleed on, curse, cheer, leak test, corner weight/ balance, tune, etc... this expression of my subie addiction in person. I've bled literally, figuratively, and occasionally financially to create what I brought out last Sunday.
I figured the *best* place EVER to "show" my car to people was at BAM. To a group of dedicated, hardcore Iclub Subaru enthusiasts. This is only my second BAM as I recently moved to the area last spring.
I do realize that in a "normal" car show setting I wouldn't have won a damm thing due to the overall condition and level of modification of my car ((chipped front bumper, not slammed, subdued exterior (despite my widebody conversion) stock interior, dirty engine bay, etc)) AND my habit for regularly abusing what I've built with the help of my friends. (Admittedly, I built this car to beat the ever-loving snot out of. I must have told a few people that this past weekend.)
But this *is* BAM right? Not Hot Import Nights or something to that effect.
I was honored and SHOCKED to win best of show and best blob eye at BAM. No lie. I was completely suprised by the judges conclusions. My exact words to the judge when he told me minutes before the official announcements were, "You're kidding right? Seriously?!?!? No Wai."
As I drove into the parking lot and parked next to cars with full Varis widebody kits, sexy blue Volks that made me want to fap one out, sick *** full carbon lipped trunks, uber clean interiors/exteriors, sexy amp- racked trunks etc I thought I had no chance to win *anything* show related...
But I didn't really care. I just brought the car to *show* what I'd done to my scooby.
I really enjoyed meeting some of the owners of these cars. (Hi Anthony/ hengman, Mark, and others!) As I noticed last year... there were amazing rides ALL over BAM. The parking lot as f'n amazing, just like last year. From the pink moustached rs (WINNING) to yellow bugyeyes (soft spot in my heart,) to amazing bugeyes (another soft spot,) to the stanced crowd... (I'm really into the way stanced cars look btw. I even commented in the "Hella" thread about how awesome the bagged wagon with the Tiffany Blue accents and matching fixie were. Love the look!) Would I be able to upkeep/ drive a stanced car on the regular? No... But I digress...
And really, thats not the point is it? To each their own I say.
I'm very happy to be a recent addition to BAIC from HIIC and again am extremely honored and suprised to win best of show/ best blob eye..
I'll bring her out next year with some more new additions. Hopefully old.guy doesn't enter as that car is BADASS! lol
