The 29 Finalists of the 5th Peugeot Design Contest Announced!

As we have already mentioned in our previous article “Peugeot 3D Models Design Contest“, PEUGEOT AUTOMOBILES has been organizing a competition between 20 April and 20 July 2008 called the “Peugeot Design Competition 2008 (number 5)”.

 

All people who wished to take part in this contest had plenty of time to submit their works. And PEUGEOT has already selected 29 designs amongst the entries received. The general rules of the competition were as follows: Entrants must design their project in accordance with the following theme: “IMAGINE THE PEUGEOT IN THE WORLDWIDE MEGALOPOLIS OF TOMORROW”. The participants should take into consideration Peugeot’s stylistic codes and their projects must contain the following four aspects: environmental awareness, social harmony, interactive mobility and economic efficiency. So, everyone had a chance to try himself and appear as an automobile engineer using all his creative imagination.

 

The selection process and procedures are rather complicated and consist of several stages until the winner is selected. The second and third place competition winners will also be announced. Now the voting is at its height. If you take part in voting and guess which project will win the Design Contest, you have a chance to win one of the 20 Xbox 360! At the end of the competition, PEUGEOT will build a full size model of the winning vehicle, which will be exhibited at the Shanghai Motor Show in April 2009.

 

And now the most interesting part… The 29 finalists with their concept car designs are presented below.
