Invitations to submit an entry form are generally sent out in January and prospective entrants are encouraged to return their entry forms immediately. Many classes fill quickly!
All forms are due by early March, when our Selection Committee meets together to review them.
The process of putting together the very best field of cars always takes a bit of time, so we ask entrants to be patient! Most entrants are notified of acceptance or declination in April, and the balance of entries are notified soon thereafter.
In selecting entrants, cars not previously shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance (or elsewhere) are given preference. And we generally do not allow cars to return to our show field within a ten-year period unless they have changed ownership and have been freshly restored. Cars accepted for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance cannot be shown at any other public car show, event, display or auction during the week leading up to the Concours. (Exceptions are made only for certain cars being raced in the Monterey Historic Automobile Races.)
Cars entered for display only (cars not to be judged) are most welcome. Although they are not eligible for Class Awards or Best of Show, they may compete for other Special Awards.
