2018 SEMA BOTB

SEMA Battle of the Builders® is a competition that recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of SEMA vehicle builders

Featuring customizers with a car or truck on display at the world-renowned SEMA Show, the competition shines the spotlight on the amazing talents and craftsmanship of builders who have already proven themselves by being a part of the premier automotive trade event in the world. It allows enthusiasts and fans a chance to learn the stories behind the builds, get to know the builders and be inspired along the way.

Young, up-and-coming builders who are under the age of 27 received special recognition as a ‘Young Gun’ in the competition, designed to spotlight and inspire future industry icons. There were also builders who met the age requirements of a Young Gun but did not have a confirmed feature or booth vehicle for the 2017 SEMA Show and were awarded a ‘SEMA Prize Package’ from one of our regional partners. These winners competed in the competition in Las Vegas alongside the other competitors.

One of the things that makes the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association’s SEMA Show so much fun is active competition. Walking for miles looking at thousands of innovative new parts and products is cool, but hot rodders are competitive at heart.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1I’m working on a vehicle build and would like to enter the SEMA Battle of the Builders® (BOTB). How do I enter the competition?

First, all builders with a vehicle displaying at the 2018 SEMA Show may enter the competition at >www.semashow.com/botb before the deadline on September 1, 2018. Photos can be uploaded directly onto the online applications, which judges will use to select the finalists after vehicles are confirmed to be onsite at the 2018 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV.

s

The second way builders may participate in the 2018 SEMA BOTB competition is through the Young Guns program. Preselected regional auto shows will award a limited number of BOTB entries to builders age 27 or younger (as of Nov. 3, 2018), who may not already have an approved vehicle for the 2018 SEMA Show. The entries will then be included in the SEMA BOTB and compete among all other participants in the competition. For more information on the Young Guns regional venues, please visit semashow.com/botb.

2If I enter the competition and my application is accepted, will my vehicle be on display at the SEMA Show?

Submitting an application for the SEMA Battle of the Builders® competition does not guarantee space for a vehicle to be on display at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV. All vehicles at the SEMA Show must be sponsored by an exhibiting manufacturer. Exhibitors may choose to display vehicles in their booths, or they may purchase a feature vehicle spot. However, the spot may only be reserved by an exhibitor.

SEMA BOTB applications for vehicles that are not on display at the SEMA Show will not qualify to advance in the BOTB competition. Only vehicles on display will advance in the competition.

3 How can I participate in the SEMA BOTB as a Young Gun through a regional partner?

Builders under the age of 27 who do not have a confirmed SEMA Show feature or booth vehicle may be able to compete in the SEMA BOTB through a participating consumer auto show.

SEMA partnered with AutoCon, 4 Wheel Jamboree, Street Machine Nationals, and Goodguys to award six regional Young Guns winners a prize package that includes an all-expense paid trip for two to the 2018 SEMA Show, transportation of the winner’s vehicle, a designated feature spot at the SEMA Show and automatic entry into the SEMA Battle of the Builders® competition.

Each regional partner will select its own winner and may have its own rules and criteria. Entries competing from a regional auto show partner are then included in the SEMA BOTB and will compete among all other participants in the competition.

Regional Qualifying Events Are:

  • March 26: AutoCon, Los Angeles, CA
  • May 19-21: 4Wheel Jamboree, Lima, OH
  • June 3-4: Goodguys Summer Get-Together, Pleasanton, CA
  • June 9-11: Goodguys East Coast Nationals, Rhinebeck, NY
  • June 17: Goodguys Speedway Motors, Lincoln, NE
  • June 30-July 2: Goodguys Heartland Nationals, Des Moines, IA

  • August 18-20: Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals, Spokane, WA
  • August 25-27: Goodguys West Coast Nationals, Pleasanton, CA
  • September 8-10: Goodguys Colorado Nationals, Loveland, CO

4 Why is there a separate Young Guns category? How does it work?

Supporting and inspiring young builders is crucial to the future of the automotive specialty equipment market. The Young Guns category is designed to encourage young builders to pursue their passions and shines the light on the up-and-coming builders.

The Young Guns is a designation within the overall BOTB competition to recognize builders at the SEMA Show who are under the age of 27 (as of Nov. 2, 2018). Those who have selected the Young Guns category on the online application, as well as young builders who were awarded a Young Guns prize package from a regional partner are eligible to participate. All competitors in the Young Guns category will be competing against the overall field of builders, regardless of how they entered the competition.

5 How are the vehicles judged?

With more than 300 participants, industry experts will review all qualifying applications, including vehicle descriptions and photos. Judges will also walk the SEMA Show floor to review individual builds in person before selecting the Top 40 finalists in the competition. (Ten builds will represent the hot rod category, 10 will represent the trucks/off-road category, 10 will represent the sport compact category and another 10 will be from Young Guns.)

After the Top 40 finalists are announced on the opening day of the SEMA Show, the judges then narrow the finalists down to the Top 12, regardless of the category.

The Top 12 finalists then become the judges, and select from amongst themselves who is ultimately named the Top Builder of the SEMA BOTB.

6 What’s the process to narrow down the competition?

The field of entries is narrowed down in six steps to get to the winner:

  • Step 1: Anyone who has booth or feature vehicle at the SEMA Show is welcome to enter the competition
  • Step 2: Applicants that were not able to secure a booth or feature vehicle spot at the SEMA Show will be cut from the competition
  • Step 3: Industry experts and our panel of judges review all applications and their submitted pictures to determine which are of interest to see during the visual walk-through judging process on the Show floor (about 70-80 vehicles)
  • Step 4: From the 70-80 vehicles that are seen on the Show floor, the Top 40 are determined (10 hot rod/10 truck/10 sport compact/10 Young Gun)
  • Step 5: The Top 40 are reviewed again by images, discussion and possible subsequent walk-through inspection and narrowed to the Top 12, regardless of the category
  • Step 6: The builders of the Top 12 will become the judges and select who will be named the winner.

7 Where is the winner announced?

The Top 40 finalists will be announced on the first day of the SEMA Show (Tuesday, October 31). The Top 12 are announced later during the week at the SEMA Show.

On the last day of the SEMA Show (Friday, Nov. 3), the Top 12 participants will evaluate and judge each other’s entry at the SEMA Show, before leading the SEMA Cruise to the official SEMA Show after party, SEMA Ignited. At SEMA Ignited, consumers, media and industry professionals will watch as the winner is announced and a television production team films for a television special that will air on the Velocity Network.

8 Why did the best vehicle not win?

Each vehicle at the SEMA Show is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation. Personal tastes may vary and opinions will differ. Industry experts with years of experience serve as judges and narrow the entries down to finalists. However, it is the Top 12 finalists themselves who will be judging, voting and selecting the ultimate winner.

As builders, the finalists know and understand the challenges and complexity involved with a vehicle build. They are able to asses and determine the creativity, craftsmanship and skill that went into each vehicle, before selecting the winner.

9 What time is SEMA Ignited?

The gates open for SEMA Ignited at 3:00p on Friday, November 3rd.

10 Where can I find information regarding a feature vehicle spot?

For more information on inquiring about a feature vehicle spot at the 2018 SEMA Show, please visit: www.semashow.com/feature-vehicle-application

11 Can I be in a Top Ten truck/hot rod/sport compact and be a Top Ten Young Gun?

A vehicle will be in one category. If a builder’s vehicle is identified as one that is in consideration of either the Hot Rod, Tuner, or Truck categories, it will be listed in those categories as top 10 of that category. Otherwise, if the vehicle builder is a Young Gun (age 27 or younger on November 2nd, 2018) and does not earn a spot in the top ten of the Hot Rod, Tuner, or Truck category, the vehicle may still be considered for the Young Guns category. A vehicle can only be in one category.

12 If I win a SEMA Young Guns Prize Package, where will my car be placed?

Winners of the regional Young Guns competitions will be placed at the 2018 SEMA Show in a feature vehicle location within the property of the SEMA Show.

13 Can you connect me with a manufacturer that needs a car for their booth?

While we cannot connect you to a specific manufacturer, you can find a list of companies that will be exhibiting at the SEMA Show by visiting www.semashow.com

14 Can I be present when the judges look at my car?

While it is certainly possible that the judges may be viewing your vehicle during hours that you are there, it is not possible to schedule a time, nor coordinate when the judges will be viewing your vehicle. Vehicles will be viewed throughout all hours of Sunday and Monday. It is not a requirement that you are present when the judges will be viewing your vehicle.

15my vehicle will be under a cover and unveiled at the start of the SEMA Show. Are the judges still able to view my vehicle on Monday?

Vehicles are not permitted to be under any embargo prior to the start of the 2018 SEMA Show. Any vehicle that cannot be available for public display prior to the opening of the show will not be considered for the 2018 SEMA Show Battle of the Builders®.
