Rules

Alberta Diesel Days Show & Shine will focus on three classes of vehicles: Big Rigs, Service & Welding Rigs and Diesel Pickups. The goal of the Show & Shine will be to allow owners to showcase their diesel trucks and to have a panel of judges assess each truck based on the criteria set out for each class, below.


Our judges will use a scorecard system to assign points based on their impression of the creativity, effort, and maintenance put into the work and the level of quality achieved. Judges will consider the age, mileage and general maintenance of each unit. Each entrant will be provided a list of the items that will be judged to allow them to prepare as best as possible. Our judges will come from a few different industries and will score each unit along with the other judges. The judges decisions are final.


Entrants will be charged a $65.00 fee to enter the show & shine, which will returned in total as prize money for the top 3 winners in each of the three categories. The fee will also cover the show entry fee for one person.
