How to enter the Chico Concours

We’ve tried to make the Chico Concours d’Elegance vehicle entry process as simple as possible. In a nutshell: Read the waiver, review the classes, download and complete the form, then mail it to us with the appropriate fee.

// Enter by mail

After many years, regular postal mail still seems to be the most efficient — and least confusing — of the many entry channels. If you need help, just contact us.
