Sports Car Market Magazine, the popular publication for classic and collector car enthusiasts, is seeking nominations to honor 40 enthusiasts under 40 years old who are making a difference in the classic-car world.
“Anyone participating in the hobby and/or business whose enthusiasm for collector cars deserves to be recognized may be nominated,” said SCM Publisher Keith Martin, who founded the magazine in 1989.
Candidates can come from the business of buying or selling, restoration, aftermarket parts, events, detailing or insurance. Those involved with dealers or auction companies, both online and land-based, are eligible. They can also be collectors, writers and even social-media influencers.
An inaugural group of honorees was chosen in 2017, men and women ranging in age from 23 to 40. This list included enthusiasts and influencers from a variety of hobbies and professions, such as auction specialists, lawyers, sales reps, marketing specialists, CEOs, appraisers and collectors.
“This program became our most popular in terms of industry recognition, so we thought it was time to re-launch it for 2021,” added Martin. The roster of 2017 honorees may be found HERE.
“The demographics of the old-car world are always changing,” said Executive Editor Jeff Sabatini. “In recent years, there’s been more focus across the hobby on boosting interest among younger collectors, who will carry the torch for classic cars well into the future.
“For this reason, we’re seeking to recognize the most enthusiastic and dynamic young influencers in the hobby and business of classic and collector cars. We know they’re out there, and we’re asking our readers and fans to nominate them.”
Nominations may be made by completing a form on SCM’s website at sportscarmarket.com/scm40.
Nominations may also be mailed to SCM 40, 8835 SW Canyon Lane, Suite 312, Portland, OR 97225.
Nominators should include their own contact information and that of the person nominated, plus a short paragraph explaining why this person is exceptional and worthy of being honored.
Nominees must be younger than 40 as of January 1, 2022. Previous honorees are not eligible. Contact SCM Executive Editor Jeff Sabatini at [email protected] with any questions. Nominations close on May 15, 2021.
