Each installer won an initial prize package valued at almost $3,200. The prize pack includes a three-night stay in Las Vegas to attend the SEMA show, $500 cash, an Avery Dennison Wrap Class of their choice, a Regional Wrap King trophy, Wrap Like a King swag, a meet and greet autograph signing with Ryan Friedlinghaus from West Coast Customs™ and marketing support from Avery Dennison.

The entire King of the Wrap World extended prize package is valued at almost $5,000.
“It was incredible to see all the global trends in vehicle customization come to life in all the entries,” said Justin Pate, car wrapping instructor and founder of the Wrap Institute. “Not only are we looking forward to crowning the ultimate King of the Wrap World winner at SEMA 2015, but I’m also excited to see all the regional winners interact and share their inspiration and skills with one another.”
The seven professional judges evaluated the 173 total submissions based on criteria of visual transformation (difference between the before and after pictures submitted), quality and skill level of installation, overall public look and appeal and uniqueness of the design.
“We can’t wait to go to Las Vegas for the SEMA Show and see who will be crowned the King of the Wrap World,” said Markus Schäffler, Signal Reklame. “We know that the M4 "Colourexplosion by Timo Wuerz", has what it takes to be the ultimate winner, but we’re also excited to spend time with the other regional winners. All of the installers are constantly working to heighten the skills of the entire vehicle wrap industry, and Avery Dennison has given us the ability to do that on an international scale.”
Over $25,000 in prizes will be given away to participants and voters. Installers and fans can still enter to win the fan prize package by using #WrapLikeAKing on Instagram® through November 7, 2015.
