Pre-registration:
Refunds will not be offered for any pre-registered vehicles or attendees unless the show is cancelled by St. John Catholic Church. A discount of $5 will be given to those who pre-register. Pre-registration vehicle entry is $20 while registering day-of will be $25. Pre-registration will open at 12:00 A.M. on March 1, 2024 and close at 11:59 P.M. on Saturday, July 20, 2024.
Entrant Number:
The parking in our show lot is completely open – choose any spot that you wish. Once you choose your spot, come to the registration area and fill in your registration card and this registration form. The registration staff member will provide you with your entrant number that will be used for judging AND will be your silent auction bidder number as well.
Vehicle Information:
It is essential for each participant to fill out the entry form (front side of this paper) and their registration sheet completely and accurately. The categorization of your vehicle for trophy class is based on the information that you put on these forms. PLEASE DISPLAY THE ENTRY FORM VISIBLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR WINDSHIELD – so that the judges can clearly see the information and mark your card once they have judged your vehicle.
Judging:
Our judges are volunteers and are not compensated for judging at the car show. All judges are parishioners here at St. Johns. Judges will be scoring each vehicle based on general cleanliness/neatness/level of detail of the exterior, interior and underhood areas, so please make each area available for judging. For example, if your hood is closed and the judges cannot see your underhood area, you will be marked down. Original and modified vehicles will be judged based on the merits of their originality or modifications respectively. Each judge will give each vehicle a combined score of 0 to 100 points. The judge’s individual scores are averaged to get an overall score for each vehicle. Be sure that your car is ready to be judged by 10:00AM, as that is when judging will begin. Please note that all judged scores are final.
Trophies:
Each entrant* is eligible to win one trophy based on the judges’ scoring of the vehicle. You must be present to win. The “Best in Show” and “People’s Choice” winning vehicles will be removed from the later categories and cannot win another trophy. These award-winning vehicles will be removed from their respective model year based categories and cannot win a model year based trophy. Within the remaining vehicles the highest score in each model year based category will receive a first-place trophy. The second highest score in each model year based category will receive a second-place trophy. Awards will go to the next runner up if a participant is not present at the time the awards are presented.
If you have any questions or concerns, please see a St. John’s Car Show staff member.
* – Please note that St. John’s Car Show staff members may enter their cars in the show but are not eligible to win a trophy.
