Finalists have been named in seven categories for the 2021 Pride & Polish competition, and the winners in seven categories will be announced online later this week.

Winners in each category, selected by a panel of editorial judges, will be announced in a streamed event Thursday, Aug. 5, at 5 p.m. Eastern time here on OverdriveOnline.com, as well as on Overdrive's YouTube channel.

Finalists were determined by Overdrive reader voting over a three-week period that ended July 11. 

Custom truck owners submitted 64 entries to the contest, and these entries received hundreds of online votes over a three-week period that ended earlier this month.
