Registration for the fifth annual SEMA Battle of the Builders competition is now open, with an expanded Young Guns regional program for builders age 27 and younger.
Builders who have a car or truck displayed at the 2018 SEMA Show, being held Oct. 30 through Nov. 2 in Las Vegas, can bring added exposure to their vehicles and the products that make their builds unique by entering the online at semashow.com/botb. The Young Guns regional program awards 14 builders age 27 and younger the opportunity to participate in SEMA Battle of the Builders.
“The SEMA Battle of the Builders competition allows us to showcase to the world the talented builders who display their extraordinary vehicles at the SEMA Show every year,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “The Young Guns regional program enables us to bring attention to younger car builders, and this year’s expansion will provide more up-and-coming designers and builders the opportunity for national exposure.”
This year, SEMA has partnered with AutoCon, Bonnier and Goodguys to award a SEMA prize package at select regional car shows. Designated regional winners will receive a prize package that includes an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the 2017 SEMA Show, transportation of the winner’s vehicle and a designated feature spot at the 2018 SEMA Show. To find a full list of the participating regional car events, log on to semashow.com/botb.
As in previous years, one builder will be named the contest’s overall top winner during the SEMA Show, and all competitors could be featured in a one-hour, nationwide television special that will air on the Velocity Network.
