To celebrate our fresh new look we are launching a special competition – a drawing challenge!
But before you get too excited and reach for your crayons, this competition isn’t for you – it’s for your kids.
We know most of you take Car Dealer home to read so when you’ve finished checking out the articles, road tests and interviews, hand this page over to your son or daughter and get them drawing.
We want to know what your children think cars of the future will look like.
Will they fly? Will they have tiny wheels to help fuel consumption? Will they be powered by rubbish like the DeLorean in Back to the Future? Or will they have massive engines and drive at the speed of sound? Only you can tell us.
Entrants can use any materials to produce the picture – paints, colouring pencils, pens or crayons – all we ask is that you stick to A4 paper. On the back write the artist’s name, age, address and a few notes about what makes the car special.
There are two categories – children aged up to seven, and seven to 14 – with prizes for winners of both. Entries should be sent to Cars of the Future, Car Dealer, 2a Church Road, Gosport, Hants, PO12 2LB by no later than March 31.
If you get your entry in by February 25 there’s a chance we might even include it in the next issue of Car Dealer – so you better get cracking!
We’ve teamed up with Halfords to offer the winner in each category a bike up to the value of £150. That’s enough to get a cracking bicycle from the Halfords range, and you can even top up the value yourself, if you want to splash out further.
How to enter
1. Draw your picture of what you think cars will look like in the future
2. Write your name, age, address and notes about what makes your car special on the back
3. Tell us where your mum or dad works
4. Send your entry to Cars of the Future, Car Dealer, 2a Church Road, Gosport, Hants, PO12 2LB by March 31
Unfortunately we can’t return any of the entries, so if you prefer to send in a scanned digital image of the picture via email, send to [email protected] with the subject Cars of the Future.
