• People’s Pick Award entries will be voted by the public on our website and through Facebook. Votes on both platforms will be combined for a final score. In the event of a tie, the top two qualifying entries will be posted on Facebook. The image in the post with the most ‘likes’ and ‘shares’ will be declared the winner.
• An individual may vote on the website once per day throughout the duration of the voting period. There are no age restrictions.
• If any entry’s information is to be found incorrect, Zip’s reserves the rights to disqualify said entry from the truck contest.
• Previous year’s winners may re-enter their truck if it qualifies, but they are not eligible to win the same award they received previously.
• Winners in each class will be announced on Thursday, Nov. 20, at our customer appreciation party at the American Towman Exposition.
