• Those that are awarded by Carlisle Events via their 'Fun Field' ballot system
• MCA awards which are decided by a panel of Merkur judges headed by Saul Rivkin.  If you are interested in participating as a judge, please let us know.

• Everyone who attends Carlisle gets a voting form listing all the car classes.  A lot of people don't realize they have this until they sit down in their hotel room on Saturday night and go through the 'goody bag' they got when they checked in at Gate 3.  By then it's too late!
• Every car gets a sign, which must be displayed in the front window of all cars on the show field.  On this sign is a unique entry number.  Please do this as soon as you park your car in its designated spot.
• Attendees (exhibitors and the public) fill in their choice against each judging category.
• The forms must be submitted to the Carlisle Events information booth, located next to the stage, by 4pm on Saturday
• Carlisle Events tallies the votes and announces winners at 9am on Sunday morning.

• First, second & third place '85, '86, '87, '88 & '89 XR4Ti
• First, second & third place '88 & '89 Scorpio

This amounts to twenty one awards, so make sure you fill in those ballot slips for your favorite Merkurs.  There are no better judges than fellow Merkur owners.  Only an owner knows how hard it is to keep all those little plastic clips etc.  and maintain the cladding, seats and wheels in showroom stock condition.

MCA Awards
 

The MCA awards are handled in a different manner than the Carlisle awards and are focused as much on the people as the cars.  Last year the MCA had award classes such as the Merkur Innovation Awards, the Merkur Preservation Awards, Best XR in Show, Best Scorpio in Show, the famous Roland Zuk Award for Engineering Excellence, MCA Member of the Year, Freundschaft entlang der strabe (aka Friends Along the Road) and more!  New award classes may be added by the judging team as the occasion arises.

Please remember, you need not to have a trailer queen restored Merkur to join in the fun! Bring any Merkur in any condition and have fun.

If you wish to help in the judging process, please let us know.

These awards will be judged by a panel of volunteer judges according to strict guidelines.  The judging will take place on Saturday between 11 and 3pm, and the awards presented at the reception at the hotel on Saturday evening.
