Entries

Any product or service can only be entered in one category.
If the same or essentially similar entry is made in multiple categories, Motor Transport reserves the right to put it forward for judging only in the most appropriate category. If Motor Transport deems that an entry is more appropriately placed in another category, they reserve the right to move it to that category.

Read the criteria for each award carefully.
Entries that do not comply will be marked down or rejected.  Most categories are only open to commercial vehicle operators – please check the category criteria to ensure you are eligible to enter.
