Should Members of a Club Sponsoring a Car Show Be Eligible for Awards

3 years ago I entered a late season show at the Speedway, IN Moose lodge. There were only 45 entries and 11 of those were a local VW club.
It was judged by Moose lodge people and they gave top 20 plaques and a huge best of show trophy. Best of show was awarded to the most gaudy looking Harley that I've ever seen, who happened to be a member there. He was parked next to the building by the sign in tables and vendors, and nobody even knew he was in the show, except for his buddies the judges.
I was there with an old friend who has a nut and bolt, rotisserie restored 69 Z-28. Its a numbers matching car, perfect down to the hose clamps.
I got a top 20. The incredibly perfect Z-28 got nothing. And the only motorcycle got best of show. Out of only 45 entries. 20190601_182447.jpg
