Next year’s Performance Car Show, held between 14-17 January in the UK, will give fans the chance to have their own hot hatchbacks star in this highly anticipated event.

All you have to do is submit a picture of your car by either uploading it to the Performance Car Show Facebook page or by posting it on your Instagram or Twitter while using ‘#hothatchtag’ to get things moving forward.

After doing all of that, make sure to visit the show in January in order to see if it made it to the Hot Hatch Nirvana Wall of Fame.

This so called ‘Wall of Fame’ will form the backdrop of the top 10 finalists chosen in the global poll to find the world’s favorite performance hatchback. Both Autocar and Pistonheads.com have joined forces in order to create a feature celebrating the 40-year love affair we’ve had with these types of vehicles.

By clicking the following link, you can still vote for your favorite hot hatch of all time, though you will have to wait until January 14 in order to find out who the winner is.

On top of that, anybody who votes before the January 4 deadline will be automatically entered into a draw and have a chance to win two tickets to the show.

There is currently a shortlist of 50 cars and voting is as simple as clicking on the image of the car you like best.

The models range from quick Alfa Romeos to Audis to the Escort Cosworth, Golf GTi, Focus ST, Civic Type R, Cooper S, 306 GTI, Clio RS, Megane RS, STI and many, many others, including the new A 45 AMG.

Do let us know which hot hatch you voted for, because it’s almost impossible to make a wrong choice.
