How it works
1. Nominate. Anyone can nominate a product: the company that makes it, its agency, or a reader who rates it. Nominations close Friday, December 4, 2026.
2. We curate. The PistonsPR editorial team reviews every nomination and builds the finalist list. Approved nominations become nominees; only finalists appear on the ballot.
3. Readers vote. Voting runs Wednesday, December 16 through Thursday, December 31, 2026, one vote per product per visitor.
4. One winner. The winner is announced Wednesday, January 6, 2027.
What qualifies
- The product was first launched, first sold, or substantially redesigned for the 2026 model or calendar year.
- Physical automotive products only: aftermarket parts and accessories, plus OEM accessories. No services, software-only products, or complete vehicles.
- A concept qualifies only if it could actually be ordered in 2026.
- Products entered in the SEMA 2026 Readers’ Choice are automatically considered. They are not automatic finalists.
- It is free to nominate, and no purchase or advertising relationship affects selection. Finalists are picked on the product, not the promotion.
