Concours d’Elegance Award

The Concours d’Elegance Award is the most prestigious award presented at the Bay to Birdwood. It follows the original Concours d’Elegance format in that the overall appearance of the vehicle and passengers is judged.

Established at the very beginning of the event in 1980, the Award has been won by some of the finest historic vehicles in Australia. The inaugural winners in 1980 were Stephen, Christina, Gabriella and Elizabeth Boros with their 1930 Model A Ford.
