Contest Rules!

[Rex Raider]

Hey all you budding artists!

Here's your chance to design a new vehicle.

Entries can be hand drawn, computer designed or photoshopped. You can start from scratch or modify an existing vehicle whether it be from GM or not.

Hand drawn and computer modified images will be voted against seperately.
Original computer creations (rendered, etc...) will count as hand drawn.

As with the last contest, you can enter a maximum of 2 entries into each category (2 for drawn, and 2 for chopped).

You can still post more than 4 images, but if you do, you MUST narrow it down to 2 in each category before the end date of the contest.

We will accept entries for the next few weeks. (Submissions end midnight, Sunday October 30th.

Once all entries are in, a new thread will be started showing all the entries.

Then all the members get to vote on their favorite three entries.

Contest winner gets to help select the vehicle to design for our next contest.

To submit an entry, just start a new topic in this thread, and post your image.
(Either by linking to it, or uploading it to our server).

Design Specifications:

It's been rumored and talked about for a long long time. The Camaro IS coming back. Most probably in Detroit in January.

The idea is simple. Design the next Camaro.

It can be retro or modern. Influenced by past designs or all-new.

It's historically been a coupe, but feel free to think outside the box (ie Dodge Charger).

Please do not use any other person's artwork as your starting point (in other words: Kris Horton's camaro is off limits).

Please use all new work, not stuff you've contributed to other threads or contests before.

It is a design competition, but if you need to write a text-based explanation of your concept (to accompany the picture), you are more than welcome.

If you make a thread with multiple version (fixes, etc...) of the same concept, please specify near the end of the contest which is your official entry.

Good luck!

As usual, if you have any questions, let me know!

I'm game, awesome subject choice Rex, I think there are going to be alot more entries in this contest than there were in the last one.

[bugatti48]

i've already came up with an idea on paper i'm just practicing for the finale

[princecharmless]

this might be the best contest ever!i hope so!

[tama z71]

good luck rex. you may wish to outsource when it comes time to organize votes and find a winner. i smell the biggest GMI design contest ever.

ALSO, torred told us he's takin a break from the sketching for awhile here. it should be interesting to see a different drawn winner for the first time in months.

[Rex Raider]

I have a feeling Torred won't be able to pass up this opportunity.

[camaroman22]

i agree rex. i know the rules state that old work can not be re-used, but torred's final drawing was just made for this contest, and he only posted it like a week ago. maybe you could let it slide? that was one of his best in my opinion and i'd love to see it in this contest.

This is gonna be a lot easier for you Americans, you don't exactly see Camaro's every day over here.

[camaroman22]

England.

England.

Just download some photos of the Camaro from 1967 to the last version a couple of years ago. This will give you a feel for the evolution of the breed.

I will if I have time, otherwise, I'll just do what I think is right.

you don't see them everyday here either.
this will be interesting to see what people come up with.
I hate the way people design a new version of an old style car, and do it by copying as many of the design features of the original as possible, rather than designing the whole car to *remind* you of the original, an all new car with the same overall flavour and feeling.
the car should look all new but yet everyone knows what it is.
like when you compare a 84 vette to a '80vette or a 78 Trans-am to a 84 trans-am
