These nominations were chosen by you, and ultimately you will decide the best photograph taken by a Speedhunter in 2012. When deciding how to cast your vote, ask yourself why each photograph deserves your vote. Try to consider the concept of each image along with how it was executed. Let the voting commence…
Without doubt, this was pretty much the most difficult thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of doing as a Speedhunter. When we kicked off the #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER program earlier in the year, submissions were few and far between and quality was generally lacking. However, as the weeks rolled on the numbers picked up but the quality absolutely exploded. Trying to narrow down the thousands of awesome submissions to just fifteen has been quite taxing. If you haven’t made it, don’t be disheartened. You were probably closer to being nominated than you’ll ever know, it was that close. Chins up and keep shooting. For now, here are the nominations…
Pure and clean, old school styles, high on drag or low on ride, we now journey back in time to the early ’70s and beyond in search of the ultimate classics and the award for Oldtimer Car Of The Year. The Singer 911 SoCal is becoming a hotbed for 911 builds, particularly strong in old [...]

The nominations are …
Next up in our awards voting – Show of the Year. Now “car show” is a fairly ambiguous term, but for the purpose of the 2012 Speedhunters Awards we are defining shows as the large scale indoor events for the automotive, motorsports, classic, aftermarket industries as well as national level modified and custom car scenes. [...]
We’ve had a whole lot of awards for cars so far in the 2012 Speedhunters Awards. Racers, street cars, modifieds, crazy builds… So much for the metal: what every car needs is a driver. The proverbial nut behind the wheel. 2012 has been a rich season, with down-to-the-wire fights in most of the major championships. [...]
The dictionary defines a festival as a period of celebration. Similar to our Meet of the Year award, we’ve unearthed the fifteen most popular festivals with you that appeared on Speedhunters in 2012. One of the things that impressed me most about these nominations, is the variety of the festivals. Take a look for yourself …
As the voting continues for the 2012 Speedhunters Awards, our next category is Street Car of the Year. In this case we are defining street cars as road legal vehicles from the late ’80s to the present that see lots of street use rather than those built for show or track events. Some of these [...]
There are builds, and then there are mentalist builds. Cars where the original is buried under a collage of crazy. Where they carry themselves in a way that requires a double (or even triple) take, these are either the product of a deranged mind or warped genius. Often both. It’s not always clear which. This [...]
For the next voting category in the 2012 Speedhunters Awards, we have Show Demo Car of the Year. This category is for cars that wowed at big shows like SEMA and Tokyo Auto Salon as well as those machines owned and built by shops, brands or tuning companies to show the world what they are [...]
