The Hydes Home Run Awards Are Back!

SEMA 2026 is almost here, and Hydes Leather is bringing back one of the biggest events of the week.

The Hydes Home Run Awards return Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas, and if you’re bringing a vehicle to SEMA, you’ll want to get this one on your calendar now.

The annual celebration, held on the sidelines of the SEMA Show, brings the automotive community together for a night of great builds, great people, drinks, prizes and plenty of bragging rights as Hydes celebrates the creativity and craftsmanship that make the industry what it is.

And this year, Hydes is promising to turn things up another notch.

Bringing a Build to SEMA? Enter It.

If you’re showing a vehicle at SEMA, don’t just park it on the show floor and hope someone notices. Enter it for the Hydes Home Run Awards.

The award categories for 2026 haven’t been revealed yet, but Hydes says more details are coming soon.

So if you’ve spent the past year fabricating, wrapping and upholstering every last inch of a project car’s interior, this is one event you won’t want to sit out.

Bigger Trophies. New Prizes. More Hydes.

Hydes is also bringing some new stuff to the party this year.

For 2026, there’s a brand-new prize category that’s yet to be announced. There will also be exclusive Hydes merchandise up for grabs and, because apparently the old trophies weren’t big enough, bigger and better trophies than ever before.

Put It on the SEMA Schedule

SEMA runs November 3–7, 2026, in Las Vegas, and the Hydes Home Run Awards will take over the Sahara Hotel on Wednesday night, November 4. The exact location inside the hotel and event timing will be announced soon.

So, while you’re planning your SEMA week, save Wednesday night for Hydes.

Bring your crew. Grab a drink. Network with other pros. Check out some seriously good work and see who takes home the top prizes.
