Mack Calendar Contest 

 

In a nutshell:

  • Nominated trucks must be Mack. 
  • Previous winners within the past 2 years are not eligible. 
  • Mack will select the top entries from seven (7) different model classes (Anthem, Pinnacle, Granite, TerraPro, LR, MD and Legacy). Note: Entries in the Pinnacle category must be the current axle forward model; older axle back Pinnacles (no longer in production) will be categorized as a Legacy model. 
  • New Category for the 2025 Mack Calendar only: the oldest truck still in revenue operation in the contest -- based on date of production (determined by VIN and verified by Mack Trucks) which is still in revenue operation.  This selection is based on age of eligible vehicles, not votes received.  In event the oldest truck receives the most votes, the runner up for votes will be selected for the Legacy category 
  • If there are fewer than 7 model classes nominated, Mack may decide at its discretion to choose the runner-up submission with the most votes. 
  • Anyone may nominate a truck for the contest, but only with the approval of the truck's owner. Nominated trucks must be in current use in a business or trucking operation, for example: regular use as a dump truck or regular deliveries; trucks may not be collector or show trucks that are no longer licensed for commercial use. These are working trucks. 
  • Mack reserves the right to seek additional verification from truck’s owner of its current operational status. 
  • Mack reserves the right to choose the winner from a specific model class, to ensure a variety of models are chosen for the calendar.
  • In the event the top submission is unavailable to be photographed, Mack will select the next-highest submission from that model class.
