QUEENSLAND MACK MUSTER 2026 JUDGING CRITERIA SHOW & SHINE STANDARDS

FAIR - CONSISTENT - BUILT FOR REAL WORKING TRUCKS

Judging at the Queensland Mack Muster will follow the updated National Show & Shine judging standards, ensuring a fair and consistent approach across all categories. Due to the rural farm environment, the truck show will operate as a closed-door, bonnet-down event. Vehicles will be judged in their displayed condition, and natural dust from the paddock environment will not be considered a fault or penalty. Only Truck of the Show and Best Custom Truck contenders will undergo full judging, including interior, exterior and under-bonnet inspection. All other categories will be judged with doors closed and bonnets down.
