The Hog Ring - Nominate a Trimmer for a SEMA Industry Award

Do you know a trimmer or business that deserves to be honored in a big way? Then nominate them for a SEMA Industry Award.

“These awards are among the trade association’s highest honors and recognize the recipient’s outstanding contributions to the specialty equipment industry over a year-long period,” SEMA says on its website.

SEMA presents seven awards:

  • Channel Partner of the Year: Honors a sales channel partner for its outstanding service to the sales, distribution, retail and/or eCommerce channel of the industry.
  • Content Creator of the Year: Honors a content creator for their outstanding contributions to the automotive culture and for creating a positive impact with automotive enthusiasts.
  • Gen-III Innovator of the Year: Honors a young, entrepreneurial individual, 40 years old or younger, who is creating innovative breakthroughs within the area of industry opportunities, advancement, best business practices, technology or trends.
  • Manufacturer of the Year: Honors a manufacturing company for its outstanding contributions and innovations.
  • Person of the Year: Honors a person for their outstanding contributions to the automotive specialty-equipment market.
  • Best Engineered Vehicle: Honors one vehicle at the SEMA Show for the quality of engineering of the entire vehicle or aspect of the vehicle that goes beyond just outward appearances.
  • Visionary 8: Honors eight young professionals aged 35 and under who are on track to change and/or advance the automotive specialty-equipment market.

For consideration, an honoree must exhibit professionalism, service, integrity and ethics that help propel the industry forward.

To nominate someone, visit SEMA.org/awards and complete an online application. The SEMA Industry Awards will be presented at the 2025 SEMA Show on November 4-7 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
