Peterbilt Motors has teamed up with Local Motors to launch a new
online competition, the Peterbilt Road Icon Generation 2 challenge.
The
challenge is to design the next generation Peterbilt Icon, using
existing elements of the cab to create a more aerodynamic, modern and
stylish product. Designers will have the support and feedback of
Peterbilt designers and engineers throughout the submission stage.
"This
has been an exciting partnership," said John B. Rogers, Jr., President,
CEO and Co-Founder of Local Motors. "We believe the community will
create a truly amazing work of art for Peterbilt."
Participants
must submit their work by midnight on 26 June, with voting beginning on
28 June and ending on 8 July. The winner will be officially announced on
23 July.
Peterbilt will award $15,000 in prizes, with the
winner, selected by the Peterbilt team from the top 10 community-voted
entries, receiving $7,500. The designers who are awarded second and
third places in the community vote will earn themselves $2,500 and
$1,500 respectively. Those who complete the top ten results will receive
$500 each, also selected through a community vote.
