Registration is now open for the 12th annual CDN Student Awards China competition!

This unique competition allows Chinese design students to work on designing vehicles according to an imaginative set of briefs created by leading automotive companies, before the winners are crowned at a stylish awards ceremony held just before the Shanghai Motor Show in 2021.

This year, Yutong, Geely and VW are asking students to imagine a dizzying variety of future worlds.
