Could someone give me some input on using peer judging at a car show. We are thinking of using this type of judging at an upcoming show. It is not an AACA type of show, it will be a show and shine kind of thing. Clean it up, bring it out and have some fun. 40+ classes, all types of cars/trucks, awards for the top three in each class.
Have you been in a show with a peer judging format? Good points? Bad points? Things to watch out for?
What I was thinking is to give every entrant a judging sheet and have them pick the top three cars in each class. This would be done over a 2 to 3 hour period. Sheets are turned in (you must turn in a completed judging sheet to be eligible for an award) and the votes are counted. Points are assigned for each vote, 1st=5, 2nd=3 and 3rd+1, add up the points, and the top three in each class get an award.
What to ya think? Any info / advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Al
