PASMAG is proud to announce its partnership with Hot Import Nights at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds (344 Tully Rd, San Jose, CA, 95111, USA) on Saturday, June 18, 2016 (5:00 PM - 11:00 PM PDT). A Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competition will be added to the event as a unique award category, similar to a "People's Choice" award. Only pre-registered and confirmed competitors of the event are able to participate and join this online, bracket-style, head-to-head challenge on www.tunerbattlegrounds.com. Rather than PASMAG staff selecting the winner of the #TBGLIVE award category, this responsibility falls on YOU - the automotive enthusiasts, fans, show-goers and friends and family of the competitors and/or event. With a click of a button (voting is enabled via Facebook) or creating a new post with a designated hashtag (Instagram, Twitter), the audience will be able to vote and select their favorite competitor(s) from stage to stage (rounds). The winner of the #TBGLIVE award category receives an exclusive print feature in PASMAG + a chance to win a trip to the 2016 SEMA Show in Las Vegas for a cover feature opportunity!
