Virtual Concorso Italiano for 2020

If you would like to participate in some virtual cars shows, this summer, we will be listing some of the Italian car shows that we are made aware of.  Here's the first of the list.

Concorso Italiano is working with The Petersen Automotive Museum to present a virtual event in lieu of being able to gather in person, due to Covid-19 restrictions.  As much as they would like to gather live on the beautiful green fairways of Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course, they will sate our Italian car lust via a virtual event that will be presented on the morning of August 15th.

Here is more information:
Submit a short 90-120 second video of your vehicle using your phone.

Additional Information and Suggestions

• Concorso Italiano invites every owner of an Italian car to participate in this complimentary event.
• All videos must be submitted no later than July 10th.  Concorso Italiano cannot accept submissions after the 10th.
• Music is OK in your video if you are so technologically inclined, but in terms of audio what is most important is your voice.  We want to hear you tell us about your car.  Tell us the items in “Key Points” above, and feel free to tell us why you purchased the car and the adventures you’ve had with it.  Please don’t let any music drown your voice.
• We will be judging the cars by marque, just as we do every year for the last 3½ decades.
• We may need to edit some videos if they run a little long, but we will not add any content for this virtual event.  What you submit is what we will see.

​
Our mutual friend Mark Greene of Cars Yeah provides a great example.  Please watch this video.  You  can hear Mark very clearly.  You get a great view of his car, and his passion is quite evident.
