Categories:

• Professionally Painted/Polished Buses – Show off that beautiful paint/polish job.
• Owner Painted/Polished Buses – The only limitation here is that the owner did it themselves. Help from family/friends is OK, but no professional paint shops and the owner must have participated in the work.
• Most Creative Graphics – We've all seen them at rallies and on the road. Paint/polish condition don't matter on these, the graphics grab your attention. Exception: No profanity or nudity accepted (artistic or otherwise)
• OEM Style – These are bus conversions (or in progress) but hey still have the original style windows haven't been reskinned and don't have different style caps or other body panels installed.

How to Enter:

• Take your best photos. They can be digital or prints. If digital, the largest size and best quality settings on your camera will be most helpful.
• Write a paragraph or two about your bus. If professionally painted/polished – where, when, etc. If DIY, tell us how you did it. If the graphics are unique, tell about what inspired them, how it was done, etc. Include your name, address, phone and email address (optional). We promise not to share it or publish your contact info. (We will publish your name(s) with your bus photo unless you ask us not to.)
• Send them to us.  You can mail printed photos/info or CD's.
  Send them to:
  Bus Conversion Enterprises, Inc.
  135 Prater Road
  Rossville, GA 30741-4688
  
  Or you can email them to webmaster@busconversions.com. If you email them, we will reply to let you know we received them. If you don't get a reply within a couple days, call us at 863-303-4008.
  
  Note: If your camera takes large size photos (which is great!) it will be better to mail us a CD. Large attachments can have difficulty making it through email.
  

Anyone can enter! You don't have to be a subscriber or member of the BCM Forum. So if you have friends that
have a bus you'd like to see enter – pass the word to them.

Let the fun begin!

That was fast!  We already got in the first entry.

Early birds will have the advantage of the most exposure time in front of the voting masses.

Hey Mike, I guess we dont qualify for any of these catagories, maybe next year!

I could qualify for OEM, but does anyone really want to see a regular 102a3 with aluminum foil in the windows?

My first apartment had that same deco.
