From exhibitor to special sponsor
For LBFILM, this year's involvement builds on earlier participation as an exhibitor. Our sponsorship brief extends from supporting online vehicle recruitment to activities at the show and recognition for vehicle owners.
As a brand with roots in Foshan, we see the event as an opportunity to support the local stage for a wider automotive community. The finished cars bring together ideas, material choices and careful execution—work that deserves to be seen in person.
APAxpo's official competition announcement names LBFILM among the sponsors and lists the additional film award. APAxpo manages competition applications, eligibility, judging arrangements and the final award rules.
Advertised prizes and LBFILM's Top 10 award
APAxpo promotes a RMB 100,000 cash prize pool. Its published competition announcement lists the following reward categories, including LBFILM's contribution:
| Award category | Announced reward |
|---|---|
| Champion | RMB 30,000 cash plus a CAMMUS professional racing simulator |
| Runner-up | RMB 20,000 cash |
| Third place | RMB 10,000 cash |
| Top 50 finalists | RMB 1,000 per qualifying vehicle, as advertised |
| Additional Top 10 award | One roll of LBFILM automotive film |
About the prize figures: The organizer advertises the RMB 100,000 total and the tiers above. The published notice does not explain how finalist and podium awards combine. Confirm the final allocation, eligibility and collection arrangements with APAxpo; the listed amounts are not a guaranteed cumulative payout.
The film award gives LBFILM a direct way to recognize selected builds. Film series, specifications and fulfilment arrangements should be confirmed through the event's official award process.
How vehicles reach the live showcase
The organizer describes a two-stage format: online voting selects 50 finalists, followed by on-site scoring to determine the Top 3. Its initial Top 50 update highlights detail, creativity and workmanship, and identifies Piyou as an announced member of the judging panel. The final panel follows APAxpo's current notices.
For an owner, clear project documentation helps explain the work. Include complete vehicle views, close-up details and an accurate list of modifications. For a wrapped car, photographs of panel transitions, edges and graphic alignment can help communicate the finish. These are preparation suggestions; APAxpo sets the judging criteria.
Check the current entry position before applying
APAxpo's September 11 update says car-gathering registration is nearing closure and Tianwang online voting is counting down. Do not rely on the original launch announcement alone for current availability.
- Contact APAxpo first to confirm remaining places, the deadline and the correct application channel.
- Submit the requested vehicle and owner information after organizer verification, then wait for official acceptance.
- Confirm display and transport arrangements before booking. Selected vehicles are expected to attend the designated showcase throughout the event.
The LBFILM briefing mentions free entry and transport support for selected vehicles. Confirm the applicable costs and conditions directly with the organizer; this is not a general visitor-ticket offer.
