MAQET x Volkswagon - VW Polo design contest

I for one have been wondering what the folks over at MAQET have been up to... as for a while there they were pumping out figures left and right, and now I know why they have been so quiet as they have been working on a HUGE project! Volkswagen and MAQET have partnered for a contest that puts you in the driver’s seat! Using MAQET‘s character designer at The Polo Principle website, you can put your own spin on the new VW Polo. VW will select one winner to have his/her design applied to a real Polo automobile... rad right!?!?!

Well not only have people from around the world been taking advantage of this contest, artist from the designer toy scene such as Shin and Nao Tanaka (seen above), and many others! The winner of this contest who takes home the grand prize of the car will then get to drive that Polo for 2 months during the summer. VW’s panel of judges will also select the 40 most creative prototype designs to be 3D-printed and exhibited in Copenhagen this May. After the show, the 40 winning 10-inch custom physical prototypes will be handed back over to their respective creators. This is a real opportunity for car customizers to show their skills in front of a world audience! So head on over HERE now and get designing!
