Does your SEMA Show featured vehicle demonstrate quality engineering? If so, SEMA invites you to put your work in the spotlight.
Nominations are closing soon for the 2026 SEMA Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year Award, which honors a SEMA Show featured vehicle that demonstrates exceptional engineering throughout the entire vehicle or in an aspect of the vehicle that goes beyond physical appearance. It also aims to inspire more engineers to enter the automotive aftermarket by highlighting their impact on the automotive specialty-equipment industry.
The deadline to enter is Wednesday, October 28.
For builders and engineers, winning the award is an opportunity to showcase their talent, vision and technical expertise to the global automotive aftermarket community. The winner will receive a trophy presented at SEMA Central and will be spotlighted through SEMA communications, including SEMA News, providing additional exposure for the vehicle, the team behind it and their technical capabilities.
To be considered for the award, builders must upload a photo, video and description of the engineering content included in the build, as well as the location of the vehicle displayed at the SEMA Show. Entries are being accepted until Wednesday, October 28, at this link.
