Arthritis Foundation Charity Auto Show
July 17-19, 2025 in Dublin, OH
Since its founding in 1982, the Charity Auto Show has become one of America’s favorite car shows, drawing attendees and participants from across the U.S. and Canada. More than just an event, this show is a vital part of the Arthritis Foundation’s legacy of innovation and impact, helping to fund research, advocacy, and resources for those living with arthritis.
The Judging Experience
Immerse yourself in the heart of the Auto Show and Cruise-In experience by understanding our meticulous judging plan and practices, increasing your chances of securing one of the coveted nearly 300 trophies presented over the thrilling two-day event.
Judging Categories
Elevating the competition, we have two distinctive categories: Cruise-In and Classic. Our iconic 6-ft trophies are awarded based on the "selection committee's choice," recognizing the finest examples of all makes and models in attendance. In addition to these, special awards and People's Choice honors will also be presented, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.
Participation Guidelines
Ensure your vehicle stands out by having your registration card readily accessible to judges. To streamline the process, judges will scan scores electronically. Place your registration card outside the vehicle, typically between the windshield and a windshield wiper—note that cars not registered will not be eligible for awards.
Announcing the Victors
The thrill continues after the event as we unveil the winners. Check this page to discover where your favorites secured their rankings and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the Auto Show and Cruise-In participants.
