Special awards for car shows — Best of Ford, Best Engine Bay, more | ModLinQ

Special awards

The hand-picked trophies.

Class winners are the science. Special awards are the heart. "Best of Ford" because the panel agreed it deserved it. "Long-Distance Driver" because someone trailered from Maine. "Founders' Choice" because the show owner spotted something nobody else did. Crown as many as you want.

Define the award

Name it, describe it, sort it.

Every special award has a name (visible to spectators) and an internal description (notes for the panel). Sort order controls the announcement order at the awards reveal. Build a template once, clone the event next year, the same set of awards comes with you.

Pick the winner

The head judge taps a name. That's it.

Browse all entrants, filter by class, pick the winner. Once assigned, the award lights up on the leaderboard and the awards reveal. Change your mind? Reassign in two clicks. Awards without a winner stay hidden from the public until you crown them.

Sponsor an award.

Special awards are the best place to give a sponsor real visibility — "Best Engine Bay, presented by Summit Racing" reads better than a logo on a banner. Add a sponsor line per award and it shows up everywhere the award does.

FAQ

Common questions.

How many special awards can I add?
No limit. Some shows have 3, some have 30. The leaderboard renders them all in their own grid above class standings.
Can the same car win multiple specials?
Yes. "Best of Ford" + "People's Choice" + a class first place — same car, three trophies. Common at single-marque shows.
Does the head judge have to score every car first?
No — special awards are independent of class scoring. Pick any entrant, any time before the ceremony.
