The Hog Ring - Deadline Approaching for NC Auto Interior of the Year Award

Time is running out to enter your best project for the “NC Auto Interior of the Year” award. Don’t miss out!

“Do you want invaluable exposure, the chance to win awesome prizes, and bragging rights for your shop? Winning ‘NC Auto Interior of the Year’ is how to get it,” said Mal Maher, CEO of NC Carpet Binding & Equipment.

This year’s winner will receive a MONSTER TROPHY to display in his shop; an NC Leather Skiver, complete with a servo motor workstation + Vacuum system; and $2,500 gift certificate to Douglass Interior Products to spend on premium automotive leather, fabric or carpets. That’s a $4300 value.

Of course, the winner will also be profiled on The Hog Ring.

NEW THIS YEAR

This year’s contest is the most exciting one yet. That’s because NC has introduced more chances to win.

In addition to the top prize of “NC Auto Interior of the Year,” judges will select the TOP 5 FINALISTS — all of which will be honored.

There will also be a PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD, open to the public for voting.

“With so much up for grabs, there’s no good reason not to enter,” Maher said. “But time is running out. You need to enter today.”
