May 18, 2018 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Pencils down! Votes have been made and the results are in for the FCA 2018 Drive for #design contest.

Three talented high school students from  Miami, Florida, and Buffalo, New York, have earned top honors in the 2018 Drive for #design contest, sponsored by the FCA US Product #design Office.

The FCA #design team partnered with EyesOn #design and Lawrence Technological University for this year's contest.

“Six years ago, we created the Drive for #design contest to create awareness about the various career paths available in #automotive #design. We wanted to connect with young artists early in their curriculum and help guide them in the right direction to begin a career in #automotive #design,” said Mark Trostle, Head of Performance, Passenger Car and Utility Vehicle #design, FCA – North America. “The creative perspective on all this year’s submissions were inventive and exceptional as you could truly see the inspiration, objective and emotion behind each concept.”
