As the festive season winds down and the post-Christmas cleanup begins, households across the UK are left with an abundance of cardboard boxes. Rather than sending them straight to the recycling bin, Volkswagen is inviting you to repurpose those humble boxes into imaginative masterpieces in its BoxVolkswagen Competition. The prize? A chance to win an electric Volkswagen ID.4 for two weeks and £100 towards charging costs—plus heaps of creative fun along the way.
From Cardboard to Concept Cars
The UK’s best-selling car brand is on the hunt for designers of the future—big and small dreamers alike. With creativity as the only limit, Volkswagen is challenging participants to turn leftover cardboard into incredible motoring marvels. Think outside the box (literally): imagine a caterpillar-shaped car, a futuristic SUV equipped for intergalactic travel, or a holiday-ready ride featuring Santa-nav, Harmon Carol sound systems, or even a dazzling Northern Lights Package.
For those looking to add a touch of authenticity, Volkswagen has made it easy to enhance your creation with downloadable paper badges and lights, available online or at Volkswagen Retailers.
How to Enter
Transform your leftover cardboard into a BoxVolkswagen and share your creation by uploading a photo to Volkswagen’s competition page. You have until 31 December to join the fun, so gather the family, unleash your imagination, and get crafting!
Judged by Design Royalty
Andreas Mindt, Volkswagen’s Head of Design, will be among the panel of judges looking for the most innovative and colorful creations. “In our studio, we love experimenting with bold shapes and unique features, so I am genuinely excited to see the innovative ideas people come up with for their BoxVolkswagen cars,” said Mindt.
Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or trying your hand at something new, this is your chance to impress one of the most esteemed designers in the automotive world.
Prizes Worth Crafting For
The top prize includes the use of a cutting-edge electric Volkswagen ID.4 for two weeks between 13 January and 3 February 2025, along with £100 towards charging costs. Additionally, 250 runners-up will receive £15 Planet Junko vouchers, perfect for continuing the creative fun with recycled materials. Standout designs will also be featured on Volkswagen’s social media channels, inspiring others to join in the cardboard creativity.
Get Inspired, Get Involved
The BoxVolkswagen competition is a festive family activity with sustainability at its core. It’s a chance to reduce waste, spark creativity, and win amazing prizes, all while showcasing your talents to a global audience of Volkswagen fans.
So, what are you waiting for? Gather your boxes, flex those creative muscles, and bring your dream car to life. Who knows? Your BoxVolkswagen might just be the next big thing in the world of design!
