Welcome to Street Machine Shed
Your one-stop shop for your entry into Australia’s biggest automotive events, including Street Machine Summernats, Meguiar’s MotorEx, and more.
Step 1: Set Up Your Profile

Add your car. You can include more than one vehicle. Each will be ready to select when entries open.
Step 3: Grab your entry
When entries go live, log in, select your vehicle, choose your tickets, merchandise and add-ons, then check out. You can also add spectator season passes during this process.
How To Upload Photos
Your Shed profile is the first thing the judges and selection panel see. The photos you upload directly affect approval and nomination opportunities. If we can't clearly see your car, we cannot properly assess it.
We require high-quality images for four reasons:
- Faster Approval: Clear, detailed photos allow us to assess your build accurately. Poor or limited images can delay approval or affect selection.
- Feature Nominations: Shed photos are used when selecting vehicles for specific events and nominations, including the Braddon Fringe Festival and City Cruise.
- Awards Presentations: Your images may be displayed during award ceremonies.
- Media & Publishing: Street Machine may use Shed images for editorial and promotional content.
WHAT PHOTOS WE NEED
Upload sharp, well-lit, high-resolution images. Do not use screenshots or low-light, blurry photos.
Required angles:
- Main Photo: Three-quarter front or rear angle showing the full vehicle, including number plate
- Side Profile: Full side-on shot
- Interior: Clear image of the cabin and key features
- Engine Bay: Clean, detailed shot of the engine bay
PHOTO TIPS
Strong photos help position your car correctly and ensure it’s assessed accurately.
- Take photos in daylight where possible
- Avoid cluttered backgrounds
- Make sure the entire car is in frame
- Clean the car before shooting
- Upload recent photos that reflect its current setup
