Deadline Approaching for Young Guns Challenge!

December 19, 2022 By Nadeem Muaddi Leave a Comment

The Hog Ring - NC Auto Interior of the Year Young Guns Challenge

You have until 500 pm ET on December 23 to enter the NC Auto Interior of the Year “Young Guns Challenge” — so get off your ass and show us what you got!

The auto upholstery industry’s premier competition is highlighting new talent this year by focusing on trimmers with 5 years or less of experience building complete interiors.

It’s also stepping up the prize! The winner will receive an NC 1508NH sewing machine complete with a servo motor workstation, as well as a giant trophy to display in his shop. The 1508NH is an extra heavy duty walking foot machine that can run through pretty much anything.

“Forget the machine and forget the trophy.  Your work is being placed front and center, being judged by elite interior builders, and viewed by thousands world-wide. The Hog Ring will also feature your shop in an article,” said Mal Maher, CEO of the contest’s host NC Carpet Binding & Equipment.

“We’re focusing on ‘young guns’ this year to showcase new talent and encourage the next generation of trimmers to keep pushing the industry forward,” he added.

DON’T MISS OUT

There’s absolutely no good reason not to enter this year’s competition.

“There’s no excuse.  Competition breeds excellence and setting a higher bar for yourself will make you better,” said Maher. “If you’re a trimmer with 5 years or less of experience, you’d be crazy not to enter. Even if you don’t win, you’ll get exposure and connections — it’s all upside.”
