At APAxpo 2026, the Tianwang Car Awards recognized the passion behind customized vehicles. Revisit the awards presentation, prizes and community moments from the event.
Recognition for the passion behind every build
Car culture is built on countless hours of research, experimentation and personal decisions. The most interesting vehicles are rarely created in a single afternoon. Every finish, part and graphic is the result of someone choosing what matters to them.
The Tianwang Car Awards program at APAxpo 2026 offered an opportunity to celebrate that commitment. The on-stage photographs show participants and organizers presenting awards and posing together, making the people behind automotive projects part of the story.

The event photographs include a ceremonial prize board displaying RMB 30,000 for a top award, alongside promotional displays for automotive-related prizes. These on-stage visuals highlight the role of industry supporters in bringing recognition to an enthusiast community.
The presentation was only one element of the experience. Just as important was the chance for participants to stand together, capture a moment and share their passion with other builders and visitors.
Why community awards matter
An award does not have to define whether a vehicle is “good.” Customization is personal, and different people will always value different approaches: performance, stance, paint, graphics, detail or originality.
Recognition programs matter because they create opportunities to tell those stories. They bring attention to craftsmanship, encourage conversations between enthusiasts and remind the broader audience how much thought can go into even the smallest design decisions.
Beyond prizes and trophies
The broader APAxpo photo series shows a lively gathering around the automotive displays. The awards fit into that atmosphere of participation: a space where people can be proud of their projects, support one another and discover new ideas.
For LBFILM, the connection to automotive creativity is a natural one. Color choices, film finishes and bespoke graphics are among the many tools enthusiasts use to make a vehicle their own. Celebrating the people who explore those possibilities is part of celebrating car culture itself.
Congratulations to the award participants and everyone contributing to the community. LIVE BEYOND.
