The Award’s inaugural winner, The CC Legend Jeep by Addictive Desert Designs, was chosen from among hundreds of submissions by the carefully selected panel of leading industry authorities at the 2015 SEMA show in a ceremony hosted by television personality and noted automotive enthusiast Rutledge Wood. This year’s panel of judges will once again represent a broad section of the off-road industry to include fabricators, journalists, industry personalities and professional off-road racers.
The award is open to all off-road vehicle constructors and product manufacturers on display at the SEMA show and will once again be judged by an elite panel of the off-road industry’s leading authorities who select 10 semi-finalists from among the submitted entries based on such criteria as off-road reliability and capability, real-world functionality, quality of craftsmanship and overall vehicle presentation. The panel will then choose one Jeep and one truck/SUV as the two finalists to be considered for recognition as the most authentic, off-road-capable vehicle at the SEMA Show.
The Life is Better Off-Road award, a custom designed trophy, will be presented by Transamerican Auto Parts President and CEO, Greg Adler, at 2 p.m. on Thursday, November 3 at the Pro Comp/Transamerican Auto Parts Booth #62112 within the SEMA SCORE Baja 1000 Experience Area (Located outside of the South Hall in the Silver Lot).
In addition to the trophy itself, the winner will receive a cover feature and multi-page vehicle spotlight in ORA Magazine, a professional photo shoot and recognition across the spectrum of Transamerican social media and digital channels. A promotional email campaign will highlight the award and winners and TAP will extend an invitation to be displayed in feature locations at TAP-sponsored events, tradeshows and Truck & Jeep Fests. The 10 semi-finalists will also be included in the full media campaign as well as receiving ribbons in recognition of the accomplishment.
