The Greater Washington Section of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America is pleased to announce the 2026 Deutsche Marque Concours d'Elegance, now celebrating 42 years! We have a new venue for this year's annual rite of spring, the picturesque Manor at Silo Falls, directly off Georgia Avenue in Brookeville, Maryland. You'll be delighted by the hospitality and ambience offered by an establishment that is very welcoming to the automotive community. 

In the Deutsche Marque Concours d'Elegance, vehicles are judged by their condition, appearance, and cleanliness. Competitive Mercedes-Benz vehicles are divided into two classes:

"Concours Street" Class – Judges scoring cars in this class will follow MBCA National Concours Rules in which the Interior, Trunk, Soft Top, Chrome, Rubber, Glass, Lights, Engine Compartment, Exterior Paint, and Body Work (but not the Chassis/Underbody/Exhaust System) are assessed. On the day of the show, these cars will be divided into categories based on actual turnout. Please note that cars under warranty and/or younger than four years old will not be judged formally.

"Concours Popular Vote" Class – Public ballot will determine the “People's Choice” award, and it is open to all registered cars, including vehicles under warranty and formally judged Concours Street entrants.

Also returning to the event lawn will be another multi-make "Car Corral" display area adjacent to the Concours lawn. The Car Corral remains free of charge and is open to the public to display any non-judged automobile. Space will be limited, but, because many interesting cars end up hidden in the parking lot somewhere, the Car Corral will exist to highlight the level of automotive enthusiasm that makes an event like the Deutsche Marque Concours so popular year after year!

The Deutsche Marque Concours d'Elegance remains free of charge to spectators and the Concours entry fee will be $50 per car. Each Concours entry fee includes one Wine & Cheese Awards Reception ticket. Additional Reception tickets can be purchased for $25 each.

Please understand that to maintain fairness in judging, you must have your car both checked in and positioned on the Concours lawn well before judging starts at 10:30 a.m., preferably by 10:00 a.m. If your car is selected for an award, the announcement will be made at the 3:00 p.m. Awards Reception. Please be present at the Awards Reception to receive it, otherwise, it must be awarded to the runner-up in attendance at the Reception. 

We invite you to volunteer your time to ensure this event runs smoothly!

Volunteer opportunities include guiding entrants to lawn parking spots, handing out registration materials, participating as a Concours Judge, and helping to leave the facilities as we found them. Your input is very much needed and appreciated!
