About this event
You're invited to participate in TWO upcoming Concours events! REGISTER NOW!
With the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Chesapeake Region Board has determined the normal Chesapeake Challenge activities cannot occur this year. But the Concours Committee has developed two no-contact Concours events. The objective is to have fun, with safety for all participants. Members can enter their vehicles, see their vehicles, and those of others virtually, receive judging much like we've done in the past, and have the ability to earn nice awards and trophies!
This is for Two (2) separate Concours events - 1. Drive-up Judging and 2. a photo competition. Enter both!
NO-CONTACT DRIVE-UP CONCOURS JUDGING

Judging Criteria: At Chesapeake Region Concours events, we judge cleanliness, preparation, and condition. We will use the normal judging inspection and evaluation process, except no touching. Interiors will be judged through the windows. The vehicle occupants do not need to get out, open the door(s), or open the window(s).
Judging Process:

- Each car gets the normal five (5) minutes for judging

Preparation: We will have a spread-out preparation and queuing area for arriving cars. Participants should plan to arrive early to wipe-down their cars and be ready to queue for their vehicles for judging at their allotted time.
