For the first time, as part of the 10-year celebration, all top 10 winners will be invited to participate in a virtual networking session with Head of Ram Truck and Mopar Design Mark Trostle and professional Stellantis designers who have created some of the most iconic vehicles on the road today. Ten years ago, Trostle revived a contest he won as a high school student. In the years since, Trostle has worked with a plethora of students and their parents, illustrating the benefits of attending art school and ultimately educating them on potential career paths in automotive design. Some of those former contestants landed internships and jobs working inside the Stellantis design studios. “Winning is not the main goal of this contest, it’s about discovering career opportunities, helping young artists hone their craft and educating parents of young artists about a rewarding profession where they can use their artistic talent,” said Trostle. “Regardless of where these students ultimately land after graduation, it’s been rewarding to our team to be able to make a positive impact on someone’s life and career.”Drive for Design Contest DetailsThis year’s challenge focuses on sketching a Chrysler brand vehicle of the future and is open to U.S. high school students in grades 10-12.
