Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is delighted to reveal the shortlist of its
Young Designer Competition, which has attracted more than 5,000
entries from children aged 16 and under in more than 80 countries
around the world.
The competition aimed to stimulate design talent, inspire
greatness and provide a welcome distraction for children living under
Covid-19 self-isolation and social-distancing restrictions.
Contestants were asked to design their dream Rolls-Royce of the
future, incorporating Bespoke features and capabilities they could
conjure from their imagination.
Launched in early April, the competition proved so popular that
the original mid-May deadline for submissions was extended by two
weeks. When entries finally closed on 2 June 2020, more than 5,000
illustrations had been received from aspiring young designers in over
80 countries.
From these entries, the Rolls-Royce Design team has selected
shortlisted entries, which are available to view in a special online
viewing room. The overall winner will be announced in mid-July.
Gavin Hartley, Head of Bespoke Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars,
who will be selecting the winners together with members of his team,
said, “We’ve been absolutely overwhelmed by the international response
to our Young Designer Competition. And it’s not just the number of
entries that has impressed us - the quality of the children’s designs
is staggering, showing incredible imagination, creativity and flair.
We wanted to give children the chance to let their imagination flow
freely – it’s clearly struck a chord. They’ve responded magnificently
– and given us an extremely difficult task in selecting our shortlist
and winner!”
He added, “Rolls-Royce encourages and enables the pursuit of
dreams. As well as giving children a way to express their visions,
this competition has really inspired us as a design team. It’s
reminded us of the sheer power of the human imagination, and
challenges us to bring that sense of scale, possibility and greatness
to making our customers’ dreams a reality.”
