Young Street Machine of the Year comp launches
Street Machine magazine has launched its 2026 'Young Street Machine of the Year' competition for car enthusiasts aged 24 and under. The contest offers a $9,000 prize pool and is open to various vehicle types, with winners determined by public voting.
Why it matters
This competition fosters community engagement among young automotive hobbyists and supports the car modification culture.
OUR friends at Street Machine magazine most graciously have helped us out with some archive imagery for our next V8 Sleuth Magazine Issue 05 – available here to pre order – so we wanted to do something to say thanks for their help and that is to tell you about a competition they have running aimed at young enthusiasts. The Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse Young Street Machine of the Year competition is revving back up for 2026 with a $9000 pool of cash and prizes.
If you’re aged 24 or younger and have a smoking-hot car of any kind, you can enter yourself into the mix and use the social media channel of your choice to spruik your build to help garner votes.
