Submit Your Build
Whether you built it or own it — get your bike in front of a global audience. Every submission enters the Global Rider Customs Awards.
The Global Rider Customs Awards celebrate the world's finest custom Harley-Davidson builders. Submit your build for consideration — once approved, your entry will appear in the Customs Awards directory where the Global Rider community can view your work and cast their votes.
Submissions are open to professional builders, independent craftspeople and private owners worldwide. There is no entry fee. All build types are welcome — bobbers, choppers, cafe racers, baggers, touring customs, trackers, scramblers and full custom show bikes.
Submissions are reviewed by the Global Rider team before going live. Please include clear, well-lit photos of the finished build from multiple angles, an accurate description of the modifications and fabrication work, and your contact details. Builders from all countries are welcome to enter — the awards are global by design.
The winner in each category is determined by community vote. Voting is open to all registered Global Rider members. Winners are announced at the Global Rider Custom Awards ceremony in December 2026 and featured across the Global Rider platform and social channels.
