Bring On The Junk!


‘Junkyard Wars’ is looking for new teams to compete for the 2002 series. ‘Junkyard Wars’ (airs on TLC Wednesdays @ 9) is an hour-long “engineering talent show” that pits teams of mechanics and engineers against each other. Each team of three is given ten hours to build, with the help of an expert, a particular machine using parts they salvage from a junkyard. The winners go onto further rounds and a chance to get their hands on the series’ trophy.

We are looking for teams of three members who are all skilled at putting together sophisticated machinery and not afraid of getting their hands dirty. The best teams are made of people you already know and have worked or played with before.

‘Junkyard Wars’ wants applications from people of all ages, races, creeds, colors, sexes, religions, and sexual orientations, as well as people with physical disabilities. We are especially interested in applications from teams with women and/or people of color, as our current crop of contenders is underrepresented among these groups. Lots of kids watch ‘Junkyard Wars’ and we want to show them that anyone can grow up to be the world’s greatest mechanic or engineer!

If you think you match the description or you know of someone who does – please log onto our website and apply: http://www.junkyard-wars.com/appforms.htm. You will also need to make one short, very simple video tape of all three team members. Don’t be worried about this, you don’t need to edit the tape or do anything fancy as we are only judging on content, not style.

However we do need completed applications and videos as soon as possible – our “official” deadline is January 28th 2002.

Please mail the applications to:
