Christmas is that magical time of year when homes are overrun with twinkling lights, festive cheer... and a mountain of cardboard boxes. Instead of tossing them into the recycling bin, why not turn them into something truly spectacular? Volkswagen has a fun and eco-friendly idea to make those leftover boxes the star of the season – and it could win you the keys to an electric Volkswagen ID.4 for two whole weeks!

A Cardboard Creation Contest with a Festive Twist

Volkswagen’s ‘BoxVolkswagen’ competition is calling on all budding designers – kids, adults, or anyone with a flair for creativity – to transform everyday cardboard into imaginative motoring masterpieces. Think outside the box (literally) and dream up something extraordinary: a caterpillar-inspired car, a planet-hopping SUV with Santa-nav, or maybe even a sleigh-on-wheels with a Northern Lights Package. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination!

Tools to Get You Started

To make your creation truly shine, Volkswagen has provided printable paper badges and lights, available to download online or pick up from your nearest Volkswagen retailer. Add a bit of sparkle, splash on some colour, and let your cardboard car come to life!

Once your masterpiece is ready, snap a photo and upload it to https://linkstre.am/boxvolkswagen by December 31st .

Judged by Volkswagen’s Design Maestro

Andreas Mindt, Volkswagen’s Head of Design, can’t wait to see the creative entries roll in. “In our design studio, we’re always exploring bold shapes and features, so I’m thrilled to see how people reimagine cardboard into fun, imaginative cars,” he said.

The Prizes

The grand prize winner will enjoy two weeks (between 13 January and 3 February 2025) behind the wheel of a cutting-edge Volkswagen ID.4, along with £100 to spend on charging. But that’s not all, 250 lucky runners-up will receive £15 Planet Junko vouchers, perfect for continuing their crafting adventures with recycled materials.

Plus, the most innovative and amusing designs will be shared with Volkswagen fans on social media, giving your creativity a moment in the spotlight.

So, gather up those cardboard boxes, get your scissors and glue ready, and let your imagination drive you to victory. For full competition details and privacy information, visit - https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/life/boxvolkswagen.html
