When you register for Battle of the Bimmers, you receive the following benefits:

1. Entry in the professionally judged competition. All judges have BMW specific knowledge and experience. All judges are car builders themselves.
2. Separate entry gate into the show for Battle of the Bimmers competitors. (Avoid waiting on the same long lines getting into Bimmerfest as the general vehicle entries.)
3. All your passengers that arrive in your BMW enter the show free.
4. Battle of the Bimmers competitors are all parked in the specially designated area. For those competitors that register for Battle of the Bimmers, but your vehicle is committed to a sponsor booth, not a problem. Let us know which booth you are located in, and we will judge your car at that booth.
5. Compete for trophies and prizes and ultimate bragging rights.
6. Individual competitors in Battle of the Bimmers will not be competing against shop or vendor owned BMWs. Those vendor/sponsor/shop cars have a separate award category to compete in.
7. Media from domestic and international publications will be onsite to scout their next feature rides.

So it costs $60 to enter.. what do you get if you win?! Just a trophy? Or are there any other prizes, and what type of prizes?

If I were to be joining the competition I would want to join the "Best Rising Star (Only owners 25 years old or younger are eligible)."
