The most prestigious title, "Best of Show," is endowed with a hefty 5,000 euros. All other category winners can look forward to 500 euros, as well as trophies and invitations to further European events. The winning bikes will also be featured in renowned specialist magazines such as CUSTOMBIKE and DREAM-MACHINES.

Alongside the championship, the Custombike Show offers a packed supporting program. Highlights include:
