As we are gearing up for Formula Bharat 2020, we thought we might throw a little contest and giveaway into the mix. This is where YOU come in!

It’s quite simple really. Below, you will find all the info you need to participate and you will have the chance to see your t-shirt OR cap design featured in our official merchandise at Formula Bharat 2020. Not to mention, the design winner for each apparel (t-shirt or cap) will receive cash prize of ₹1000!

How it Works:

The contest will run from Wednesday, October 30 through Wednesday, November 10, 2019. During this period, we encourage anyone to participate in designing a ‘Formula Student themed ‘t-shirt.

Our judging panel at Formula Bharat will select upto a maximum of top five designs based on the judging criteria found below, for each apparel, and we will post them via our Facebook and Instagram accounts. The design post with the most number of ‘likes’ on both platforms will win! Any use of bots for likes (i.e. fake likes) will result in disqualification.
