Rural Missouri - April 2018 - 21
s r e n n Wi I Love My Truck W CONTEST hen we decided to offer a new contest in 2018, we wanted to pick a topic Rural Missouri readers would be drawn to. After much debate, the staff went with the "I Love My Truck" contest which gave you, our readers, a chance to show off your favorite rides. And boy did you show off! Readers entered 1,100 pictures showcasing their beloved rigs. The judges had their hands full narrowing down finalists in the four categories - prettiest truck, classic truck, work truck and ugliest truck - before voting on a winner. Factors included, but weren't limited to, the quality of the photograph, stories behind the truck and how they fit in each particular category. Reading the stories and descriptions of each truck proved Prettiest Truck Ugliest Truck to be one of the most unique aspects for the judges. Each and every truck seemed to have a compelling backstory as to how it came to be such a cherished possession. Classic Truck was the most popular category in the contest amassing more than 400 entries alone with Prettiest Truck not far behind at 300. From snow plows to flower trucks, the judges loved the imagination that was entered in the Work Truck category. Ugliest Truck entries showcased many unique Show-Me State trucks that were either well past their prime or definitely in need of attention. Winners in each category will receive a $500 Visa cash card good for anything their faithful rides might need. They are highlighted on the following two pages and we've also included the finalists in each category for you to enjoy. Classic Truck Work Truck
