​With the country in lock-down, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is offering house-bound aspiring young designers a chance to conceive their dream Rolls-Royce.

Overall winner, as judged by the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars design team, will receive a digitally rendered illustration of their submission, will be driven, along with a friend, to school in a chauffeured Rolls-Royce. One other lucky entrant will also get a luxury ride to school, while their school will receive a Greenpower electric car for participation in the Greenpower Goblin Challenge. There’ll be hand-signed certificates from the chief executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to runners-up. Entries must be submitted by Monday, 18 May 2020

The special ‘Young Designer Competition’ has been launched to provide parents and children with a welcome distraction during the worldwide coronavirus outbreak, with aspiring designers up to the age of 16 being asked to design their dream Rolls-Royce of the future.

Rolls-Royce designs and builds the world’s most extraordinary cars, each a unique expression of the owner’s personality, imagination and creativity. From paint to embroidery, Starlight Headliner to art and design installations, anything is possible. Aspiring designers entering the challenge can now draw on their own creativity and desires to imagine the design of their very own super-luxury car.

The new competition is an extension of an event run each year at the Rolls-Royce employees’ Family Day Celebration, held at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England. But during this extraordinary time, the luxury car maker is opening up the competition to a worldwide audience to: stimulate design talent; inspire greatness; and provide a welcome distraction from self-isolation and social-distancing measures being adopted by many countries around the globe.

The marque’s Design team will judge all entries and select an overall winner, who will receive a rendered illustration of their design – a true once-in-a-lifetime, money-can’t-buy prize – as well as a chauffeur-driven journey in a Rolls-Royce Phantom for their first day back to school, with their best friend. Runners-up will receive a hand-signed certificate from Torsten Müller-Ötvös, chief executive officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

Two additional prizes will be awarded to one lucky UK entrant: Travel to school in style in a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce once the UK’s own Coronavirus countermeasures draw to an end, and a new Greenpower electric car kit donated to the recipients’ school, enabling participation in the Greenpower Challenge – the UK’s number-one motorsport competition for schools across Britain.
