I'm putting together a car show with one of my Shrine Brothers , and of course, people's choice awards, as we plan on using that format, has been a topic. Then I talked to one of my Masonic Brothers , who has a lot of experience as his shop has painted a lot of the local street rods, been involved with the North Florida car clubs and car shows.
He informed me that if we only had a "People's Choice " award, that we wouldn't get much support from the Street Rod community because of ballot stuffing. So now, I added a Masonic 1 through 3 awards and same thing with sponsors, Brothers from each Lodge represented will judge for the the Masonic awards and the Sponsors will do the same thing. I hope that fixes the issue.
If anyone is interested, the car show, swapmeet and music event is October 19th, all cars and clubs welcome and we have a great location.
