The Hog Ring - Register for SEMA Battle of the Builders

SEMA has opened registration for its annual Battle of the Builders contest — and yes, we have details.

Now in its 11th year, the contest is “the industry’s leading vehicle competition, providing an international platform for SEMA Show builders to showcase their ingenuity,” SEMA said in a statement.

Battle of the Builders is open to any car or truck displayed at the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Judges will award one winner in four categories — (1) Hot Rod & Hot Rod Truck; (2) 4 Wheel Drive & Off-Road; (3) Sport Compact, Import Performance, Luxury & Exotic; and (4) Young Guns. One of these four will be crowned the overall Battle of the Builders champion.

“Battle of the Builders has helped launch the careers of dozens of builders by bringing both established and up-and-coming modifiers to the forefront of the global automotive stage,” said RJ de Vera, SEMA vice president of marketing. “The vehicles that are entered into the competition are truly iconic builds that take the world of customization to new levels.”

Register online for Battle of the Builders by October 18. The 2024 SEMA Show will take place November 5 – 8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
