Keep Racing and Create Competition

by Samantha Field January 21, 2019

We are asking Team members new and long-standing to get creative and enter our Virtual Racing UK Design a Medal Competition.

With two categories Adult and Junior Team members can design their very own challenge that they would love to see turned into a real race, and their medal design will be converted into a physical medal (with a little help from our own design team).

Closing date for 2019 design entries: Sunday 3rd Feb 2019 at 6pm.

What are the rules?

All entrants must be within the age categories below:

Adult 18 and over

Designs must be 2D and submitted on one side of A4 or A3 paper only – initially scanned copies or photos of these need to be submitted here using the submission form below and then if shortlisted we will ask for the original design to be posted to us
Work must be original and created by the Team member – please do not use any templates.
Entries must include the following information with the submission email:

- entrant first name and entrant age or confirmation that they are over 18

- entrants from under 18’s must be submitted with the contact details of the parent or guardian only

- confirmation of category submission

- outline of the challenge (distance and/or discipline) and why you would love to see it become an actual challenge and reward medal.

Please note, the data submitted will be used for the administration of the competition. By entering this competition you also accept that Virtual Racing UK may have already or in the future promote a challenge which may bare similarities to your design entry, this does not mean that they are using your design and any similarities may be purely coincidental and unintentional.

First names, ages of entrants may also be shared on our website and social media pages – if you do not want this data to be shared online you should make this explicitly clear on the back of the entry.

How to enter?

Once Team members have completed their design please email initial submission using the form that will be available here from Wednesday 23rd January and include the above information

Closing date for 2019 entries: Sunday 3rd February 2019 at 6pm.

Prizes will be awarded to the best entry in each category.

We cannot accept entries received after the closing date so please ensure they are emailed in good time direct to us at the address above.

We will then contact those shortlisted by February 10th and final winners will be announced by 16th February.

What are the prizes?

Category winners will have their design turned into a 2019 challenge and we will provide free entry for you and 4 Team members of your choice (family or friends – they don’t need to have taken part in one of our challenges before)

Additionally we will post category winners a goodie bag, with Virtual Racing UK and sports goodies.

How will it be judged?

Vicky, Sam and our designers will shortlist entries.

Overall winners will be announced thereafter.
