Teams event
Clubs can enter a team or more of two cars and they are judged for the coveted Intermarque Concours d'Elegance shield and the prestige of hosting the next event
Masters class
Judged to the same rules as the Teams Event, this competition is for clubs who wish to enter a single car rather than a team of two.
Survivors class
This event is to find the best over 35 year old unrestored car. More originality and age points are available than the other competitions

YOUR CLUB CAN WIN!
It is apparent to the organisers of the event that many of the clubs that regularly display cars on the day are not entering a team in Concours because they don't feel that their cars are up to the standard required, are not sure about preparing cars for the event or don't think their club would have the resources to host the next years event. It can be seen from the standard of cars on club displays that many are good enough to take out prizes in the Teams, Masters or Survivors competitions and clubs don't need to be large to host the event because other clubs and service organisations are always willing to help. And the payout for winning is a substantial boost for club funds - in the last few years it has been around $8,000
