how to enter the nissan x designboom competition
This global competition unfolds in three phases. First, entrants register on designboom’s platform, uploading up to ten examples of previous work and a short written presentation outlining their creative vision. From these, around 100 participants will be selected to develop full proposals. The jury will then narrow the field to ten finalists, who will refine their designs before the final winner is announced on December 15, 2025. The challenge centers on amplifying the MICRA’s audacious personality and modern appeal while preserving its original structure. Designers are encouraged to experiment with color, graphics, patterns, and surface treatments, creating a distinctive visual signature for a style-conscious audience. While the car’s body shape and key features remain unchanged, exterior detailing and optional accessories may reflect the bold yet sophisticated theme.
Participation is free of charge and open to creatives everywhere who have reached the age of majority in their country of residence. Submissions must follow the competition’s technical guidelines, including image format and written documentation, all outlined on the contest page.
The winning design will be produced as part of the Nissan MICRA Signature Edition, giving the winner both international exposure and a permanent creative mark on an iconic vehicle. Full rules, eligibility criteria, and registration details are available on the official competition documentation through designboom.
