1) Are Rouge Awards presented for each area (Interior, Exterior and/or Running Gear) a car may be certified in? For instance, if a car is certified in all three areas are three Awards/plaques presented or is one Award/plaque awarded regardless of whether one, two or all three areas are certified? 2) Should Awards be engraved when received (as is noted under Section 4. ROUGE DIVISION of 'AWARDS' in the Judging Manual) with at minimum the year, type of vehicle and name of the owner? 3) Should the plaques also be engraved with the areas for the car the Rouge Award/plaque applies to? 4) Upon entering the vehicle for Rouge Class judging at subsequent Meets, this in pursuit of a V-8 Medallion Award(s), how does the owner validate the car as having won a Rouge Award or Awards at a prior meet? Thanks in advance -
Steve

1) You can win a Rouge Award for Interior, Exterior, or Running Gear, or any combination. There is only one award plaque given, but the original award (1st time) will list on the engraving strip what the vehicle won for. Any other awards will be a medalion that you glue on the plaque. 2) My award says Name year vehicle type I & E -- 3) Answer in question 2 I=interior E=exterior 4) All information about the vehicle is recorded by the Judging Standards Secretary. So, when you register any vehicle for Concourse judging, that information is entered into the data base and then after the meet, the records are updated with results.

Thanks nelsb01 - your response is what my expectations were. At the Eastern Regional in Charlotte my '47 earned Rouge Awards for Interior and Running Gear. Just received the plaque in the mail and the engraving strip is completely blank. Other than the meet pin/inset from the meet souvenir gearshift knob in the lower circle of the '8', no other defining info is on the plaque (see attached pic). Being new to showing the car and submitting it for judging this is my first experience with the EFV8 on the Concourse, so I thought though perhaps this is the norm it seems strangely odd to me that a blank would be sent like this. Not sure what my next steps should be - recommendations appreciated.

Steve, you got the definitive answer above from the oldest most decrepit ugliest V8er that has been a Director of the Club since the age of the dinosaur, has been directly involved with putting on V8 Meets more than any other dude around, so, long story even longer, you got your answer.

Alan - perhaps one day I'll be fortunate enough to earn such a glowing endorsement! Thoughts on the plaque appreciated -

Steve, You received the Rouge plaque from the local folks in the Piedmont group who put on the meet. You will be receiving the strip to attach to your plaque directly from the Judging Standards Committee Secretary. Ken

Thanks Ken - this being my 1st I didn't know what to expect, nor could I find the answers when researching before posting the questions. Do you know what the typical lag time is between receipt of the plaque and receipt of the strip? Live and learn - rookie questions. Sincere thanks to all for responding -

Steve, The strips usually take two or three weeks. Just depends on how quick the engraver is after the JSC Secretary sends them her list. It shouldn't be much longer. Ken
