SEAMO Announces Plans For 2003 Concept Vehicle Awards

Atlanta, Apr. 25 /PRNewswire/ – The South East Automotive Media Organization (SEAMO) today announced plans for the 2003 North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Award program. Once again, the winners of the awards will be honored at a luncheon held on Press Day at the Atlanta International Auto Show on March 12, 2003. The judging process for the 2003 awards will commence with a multi-line sneak-preview of the season's concepts held at the Miami International Auto Show on November 7-8, 2002.

A jury of professional automotive journalists will review concept vehicles in the car, truck/SUV and specialty segments to select a winner for each segment, and from those three winners, select the "Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2003." To qualify as a nominee for the awards, a concept vehicle must have made its North American debut during the 2003 Auto Show season, and not be announced or intended as a production model before the awards are announced.

Founded in 2001, SEAMO represents and supports a wide range of automotive media professionals based in, or doing business in, the Southeastern United States. Membership is open to all segments of the press, as well as public relations and media support personnel. In addition to the annual Concept Vehicle Awards, SEAMO also hosts a number of press conferences and social networking events throughout the year.
