Recaps & News

Landisville, PA – Earlier this spring we were contacted by Jason who puts on the annual Cops & Rodders car show in Lancaster County. He had learned about us from a good friend from our earlier “OG” car community days… Thanks Sajy! In its 5th year, Jason wanted to step things up and set the standard for other local events. So naturally he wanted to get his event on board with our eJudged iOS app. The Cops & Rodders event benefits the Power Packs Project, an organization that provides long-term solutions to end childhood hunger. Since the event was only a short drive for us, Jason invited us to come hang out for the day -and we decided to show our support in person, which gave the judges an opportunity to take advantage of our Ford Transit Connect Mobile Command Center and HotSpot on wheels. We’ve gotta say we’re glad we took the time to come and be a part of the fun! A couple hundred cool cars turned up, despite a little rain in the morning, the food was good, and the company was good as well – as there were plenty of area Police officers in attendance with their cars on display as well. Neat concept for a show, and we can’t wait to return again next year!

Aberdeen, MD – This past Sunday we took a nice little Sunday cruise down to Cal Ripken’s Stadium, where Tuner Evolution and Los Goonies hosted The Panda Junction. We attended last year’s meet, and we were overwhelmed with the growth of this event in just it’s 2nd year of existence. There were a lot of cars in attendance. And to be honest, there were a lot of outstanding cars in attendance. We were thankful that Jay had asked us to bring our Transit Connect Mobile Command Center down for the event, and it gave us another opportunity to toss together a little voting competition.

At the end of the day, it was Quan Smalls that was the top vote getter and took home bragging rights of the “Interstate Sensation” competition. But much like the week prior at Fresh Meet, we really enjoy seeing dedicated enthusiasts be rewarded by their peers. Congrats to Quan and his crew for getting out there week after week.

Georgetown, TX – We were excited when the Georgetown Area Car Club reached out to us about using our app at their show in Texas. We can’t wait to see our app in use all over the country, and more. The event was a car show and charity benefit, and it seems to us that the turn out was huge. They had a little bit of everything – from antique to modern on display and in competition… but some of the street rods and cool old school builds certainly stole the show. We are looking forward to working with this event again.

Woodstown, NJ – Fresh Meet Events continue to impress with huge turnouts at their events. We just returned from their annual Spring Bash meet, and it was packed, as usual. We love to attend this event and show support for the Fresh Meet Fam because they’re good guys with a vision – and they create a fun environment at all of their events.

This year, we were honored to be asked to put together our own little display area. We reached out to our partners-in-crime at LowLifeStyle.com and SqueakyClean and took over an entire hangar. It also seemed like a great time to release a new aspect to eJudged. We generally don’t attend a ton of meets because we’re so busy travelling and maintaining judged competition style car shows. But we love the relaxed, good time atmosphere of the meet style events. Turns out great minds think alike as we quickly collaborated with Rey and Mike from Fresh Meet to come up with the Freshest Of The Fresh award. 25 of the top cars from the event were chosen – and then anyone who attended the event could swing by our booth and cast their iPad vote for their favorite vehicle.

Hampton, VA – Spring has finally sprung and we shifted straight into high gear, kicking off our 2015 “Powered by eJudged” schedule with a roadtrip to Virginia for some Southern hospitality and the VA Hot Rod & Custom Car Show. The event is also the first stop of Live-Wire-Media’s event series. Brad from Live Wire is an old friend, but new partner of ours. We couldn’t be more excited to combine forces.

The Hampton Roads Convention Center was filled with high quality hot rod builds, restored and preserved rare classics, and a ton of horsepower. At the end of a great weekend, meeting lots of great folks and seeing some amazing vehicles, well over 100 people went home with some pretty sweet awards. We’re proud to say that we got to be a part of it!

Harrisburg, PA – Here at eJudged, the pace is steady and new things are always on the horizon. We kicked off 2015 in our hometown, as we were asked to produce a special display for the Pennsylvania Auto Show. We were able to use our network to bring in some of the scene’s heaviest hitters. The display, dubbed the eJudged Alliance Showcase, featured the top vehicles from the top events within the PA/Mid-Atlantic region. The idea was to showcase our product, show love to current and future event partners, and perhaps most importantly educate local spectators of exciting events that they could attend in the upcoming year.

With 11 unique, top-notch builds on display, we were able to showcase regional events such as: Tuner Evolution, Carlisle Performance & Style, Carlisle GM Nationals, Carlisle All-Truck Nationals, H2O International, VagFair, Knoedown, OC Car Show & Live-Wire-Media events, PSU Car Club’s THON charity event, and Schuykill Summerfest. In addition, we had signage and videos streaming all weekend long showing action from these events – and most of the other events nationwide and internationally that we partner with. Our showcase boasted the Best Of Show vehicle(s) from six of the eleven events – and the other vehicles were hand-picked by the event promoters/owners to represent them. It was a great opportunity for us to interact with the competitors as well as the general public – and let them know what’s in store for 2015.

Las Vegas, NV – Well, it’s been a year since we officially released our eJudged iOS app to the public. We’ve been extremely busy since SEMA 2013. But we were extremely thankful to continue our relationship with the great people at Mothers Polish. Their Mothers Shine Award is quite simply one of the most prestigious awards that can be won during SEMA week. Scratch that, it’s one of the most prestigious awards that can be won all year long in the automotive industry. Since our application launched last year, we’ve been taking note of feedback that we’ve received from events all over the world – and we were quite happy to launch our v2.0 update just in time for SEMA 2014.

We made the trip to Las Vegas to provide support for the Mothers judging staff and to further spread the word of eJudged to the people of SEMA. We’re happy to say that the Shine Award went off without a hitch – and was awarded to a flawless 1932 Ford Sedan owned by Don Smith. There were 10 other Mothers Choice award winners also crowned. That’s only ten cars out of over three million square feet of space within the convention center that received the honors. It doesn’t get much more elite than that. We were truly excited to be a small part of the action and it was another learning experience for us to see the quality of craftsmanship and fabrication that goes into these vehicles. We can’t wait to see the 2015 Mothers Shine Award Winner!

State College, PA – This past weekend we made the short road trip to Happy Valley – AKA the campus of Penn State University for a very cool event. No, we weren’t there to tailgate, but the event did take place in the parking lots around Beaver Stadium. We were there to show support and spread the WiFi signal for the PSU Car Club event, who had reached out to us to use our iOS digital judging app to score the cars for their show. The event was held to benefit the THON charity. So we were more than happy to donate the usage of our software for the cause. For those that don’t know about THON – “The mission of the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon is to conquer pediatric cancer by providing outstanding emotional and financial support to the children, families, researchers, and staff of the Four Diamonds Fund”. We had our Ford Transit Connect “Mobile Command Station” on display, front and center near the registration and DJ. For a first time event planned by a group of busy college students, we were quite impressed. Not only were there a great variety of vehicles in competition, but the staff was well prepared and were instant eJudged app experts. Most events that we attend rely on us for training and support, but the PSU Car Club was on top of things. We were able to kick it with fellow car enthusiasts and enjoy a walk thru campus to the Berkey Creamery for our favorite milkshakes during the show. So other events, take notes!  We would like to thank the organization for asking us to be a part of their event, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for their 2015 event!
