Fourth Peugeot Design Competition
|
|||
At the 2006 Paris Motor Show, Peugeot is set to launch its fourth Design
Competition. This will invite Internet users around the world to submit designs
for a new Peugeot based around a set theme. Six letters sum up the philosophy of
this year’s design theme, P.L.E.A.S.E. Pleasurable (to
drive) As in previous years, the winning design will be displayed at a major motor show. This
time, the winning design will be displayed at the 2007
Frankfurt Motor Show as a full scale model, the winner will receive a cheque for
6000 euros and a miniature version of the model will be mass produced. In
addition, this competition’s winning design will also feature in an Xbox 360
video game – making this competition a truly unique opportunity for aspiring car
designers. The competition is open to participants* over the age of 14 who must submit
their entry via the interactive website www.peugeot-concours-design.com.
Participants can submit as many entries as they wish and each entry can be
accompanied by one or several drawings or 3D model designs but must be
supplemented by an explanatory text. Entries should be submitted between 16th
October and 4th December, 2006. The judging panel will be chaired by Frederic Saint-Geours, CEO of
Automobiles Peugeot and will feature judges from the Peugeot Design Centre as
well as representatives from Xbox. The panel will assess each entry based on
creativity and originality of the entry, its coherence and relevance to the
theme, the explanations provided and the overall quality of the entry. The panel will make an initial shortlist of around 30 entries which will be
uploaded onto www.peugeot-concours-design.com;
the public can then vote for their favourites. From this public voting, 10
finalists will be selected and showcased on the site before the eventual winner,
selected by the judging panel, is announced in late February 2007. Over the previous three competitions Peugeot has received almost 9,000
projects from 6,300 different competitors. Previous winners are Marko Lukovic
from Serbia with his ‘Moonster’ concept (2000-2001), Stefan Schulze from Germany
with the ‘Peugeot 4002’ (2002-2003) and André Costa from Portugal with his
‘Moovie’ concept (2004-2005). | ||||
