Jury The judges for this award are the following current officers of De Lorean Midatlantic: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Activities Director, Past President(s), Newsletter Editor. The President or his/her designate from among these officers shall serve as the Chair Person of the Jury. Terms of Competition The members of the Jury make their selection from the De Loreans shown at the Eastern Regional Run. Each member of the Jury nominates one De Lorean for this award. The decision of each member is final; that is, it is not appealable to anyone. Nominations must be made to the Chair Person of the Jury by the deadline set by the Chair Person. The De Lorean that receives the most nominations shall receive the award. In the event of a tie in nominations, the Chair Person shall select the award recipient from among the tied nominations. The decision of the Chair is final. Subjectivity Each member of the jury is making a judgment about the De Lorean that s/he believes deserves this award. Only the absence of the De Lorean from the Eastern Regional Run disqualifies a nomination. Except for this disqualification, every nomination shall be honored. This is a fun award. It is expressive of an owner's inquisitiveness and inventiveness. It demonstrates your appreciation of the tinkering instinct in many an owner. Go with the excitement and wonder of the moment when you first catch site of these characteristics in a De Lorean. Keep it fun!
