Your entry covers you and your vehicle for the Show & Shine pack-in day (Friday) and the Show & Shine event day (Saturday). Your show entry means you do not need to purchase any General Admission tickets as this is covered with your show entry.

WOF or REGO isn’t required, however 3rd Party insurance is preferred as Downtime Entertainment Ltd takes no liability for any damages or loss at the event.

When you arrive at registration, please have your driver’s licence ready to confirm identity. Once through registration, staff will direct you into position. Once in position, you may setup your display.

During ‘pack-in’, the venue is classed as a ‘work site’ so we have to limit the number of people in the venue during this time. You can bring one person to help with your setup. These rules are in place for the safety of your vehicle and the venue.

Your space is 3.0m x 5.0m on carpet and is a blank canvas. You will need to supply your own bollards/fencing if you wish. Make the use of your allocated space and if you have a busy display, please arrive early so you don’t impact others setting up around you.

• Enclosed shoes are required.
• If your vehicle has any fluid leaks, please supply a suitable drip tray.
• Anyone 14 and under is not allowed into the venue during pack-in.
• Please do not publicly post any photos/videos of other vehicles or parts of the show until the event opens to the public on Saturday.
• If you are planning a display, please do not stick anything down to the carpet/concrete. This includes tape, or any adhesives. You will be charged for any damage caused to the floor.
• Due to strict venue rules, no aerosol cans or spray bottles may be used inside the venue. Please polish your vehicle and shine your tires before going through registration.

If you require power, you must let us know when you send through your application. There are limited powered spots available and this will determine where you will be placed in the show hall. There is no extra cost for power but you will be positioned along a wall. All cables, plugs, multi-boards and electrical equipment must be tagged and tested.

Sponsor livery and stickers on your vehicle is fine, however entrants are not permitted to conduct any business activity including buying/selling transactions, the display or distribution of promotional materials e.g. business cards, brochures, banners, for sale or company/promotional signs. If your sponsors want to have an official presence at REVCON, we have trade and sponsorship options available, get in touch alan@downtimenz.com.

Judging is done on Friday night. All competitors will be removed from the venue at 8pm sharp. Please do not set any alarms and keys must not be left in vehicles at any time. If you wish your interior to be judged, please leave your vehicle unlocked. Venue is patrolled both inside and out by security. Each of the Meguiar’s FINAL FOUR will have a free-standing banner next to their vehicle when the show hall opens in the morning (they will get to keep this banner). Each of the Meguiar’s FINAL FOUR will not know where they have placed until the official prize-giving along with the other show prize winners. Judges decision is final.

Please make sure you still have your entrant wristband on.
