Why Young SMOTY?

2022 will mark the 34th year of our Milwaukee Street Machine of the Year (SMOTY) competition. It is the richest prize in our sport and in many ways is the toughest to win. To be eligible, you must score a feature in the mag and then be selected as one of the 16 finalists by our judging panel. But to win, your car must get the most votes from the general public – in effect becoming the most popular new build in the country.

SMOTY ranks alongside the Street Machine Summernats Grand Champion and MotorEx Grand Master as the highest accolades an Australian modified-car builder can aspire to. These are important awards that give focus to the sport and help it evolve and grow.

But for the past few years, the Street Machine team have been pondering what we can do to encourage younger modified car fans to step up and get more involved in the sport.

That’s why we’re incredibly pleased to launch the inaugural Milwaukee Young Street Machine of the Year award (YSMOTY).

YSMOTY is open to anyone under 25 (as at 31 December 2022), and unlike SMOTY, there is no requirement to have had a Street Machine feature.

Any genre of car is fair game – drift cars, mini-trucks, burnout cars, Time Attack weapons, JDM hotties, customs, hot rods, 4x4s, restos and street machines are all welcome.

The winner will receive $2500 cash and a bunch of cool Milwaukee products, and there’ll also be a $2500 cash prize for a lucky voter. The winning car will be featured in Street Machine and we’ll hold a car show to celebrate the win and present the prize.

Our vision is that Milwaukee Young Street Machine of the Year will appeal to the widest possible group of young people and help ensure that our sport has a healthy future for decades to come.
