Special awards

Ian Cameron Trophy*
Best dressed team
Next generation award

* The Ian Cameron Trophy is awarded by the BCCM in honour of an exceptional individual who has contributed greatly to the event over many years: Ian Cameron — a designer, a passionate classic car enthusiast, and a long-standing BCCM judge. Each year, the prize is awarded to the car and team that the BCCM jury, chaired by Marco Makaus, believes Ian would have liked best. The judges are looking for elegant vehicles that do without exaggerated details or flashy 'look-at-me' effects. Unusual or unexpected models that stand out from the typical concours vehicle also have a chance, as do cars that combine innovative ideas with their brand's heritage. The process is deliberately subjective and is intended above all to honour the spirit of Ian.
