Of all the automakers in the world, only Toyota->ke88 and probably General Motors->ke1024 can rival Volkswagen->ke94 in terms of resources. And yet, for all of its resources, Volkswagen still wants to give young designers a chance to show off their talents courtesy of the first worldwide Volkswagen Design Contest.

The contest has been underway since May 5th, but there's still plenty of time for young design talents to submit their best interpretation of a video game concept car->ke169 for a video game. Sounds like it's right up in the alley of the younger generation of designers all over the world. Interested contestants can submit their concepts no later than August 15, 2014, giving them a little over three months to come up with the best entry to the competition.

Once the deadline passes, the contest falls into the hands of a jury of experts, headlined by Klaus Bischoff, Head of Volkswagen Design. He and the management team of his design studio, will be tasked to name three winners with all three designers receiving six-month internships in the Volkswagen Design department in Wolfsburg.

The winners will be announced on September 30, 2014.

It's a great opportunity for a lot of young designers to not only make names for themselves in the eyes of Volkswagen, but more importantly, to make a name for themselves in the entire industry.

Why It Matters

It's an opportunity for students to be part of something that could define their future and that of Volkswagen. For these young upstarts, there's no better avenue to showcase their talents to some of the best designers in the world. It doesn't even cost anything to these students; all they need is a creative mind and a vivid imagination to create something that could get the attention of Volkswagen.

Volkswagen Design Contest

Back in 2011, Volkswagen debuted its Design Contest with the same purpose as it does now: to find young designers that will become the future crop of the company's design team. In its first incarnation, the Design Contest carried a theme "The first electrical Volkswagen for my country…!" and was limited to students from China, Russia, and India.

Now, Volkswagen is taking its contest on a more global platform, giving other students from other countries a chance to join in on the fun, and hopefully, be invited to work as an intern in the real big leagues.
