Winners European 2009
Launched in 2007, the Young Creative Chevrolet art contest supports upcoming young talent, encouraging students to look at Chevrolet from their own creative perspective. The contest has grown fast from the original 32 art schools participating in 2007 to 120 in this year's contest.
In early summer 2009, an international jury elected this year's European Young Creative Chevrolet winners, with the award-winning entries in Fashion, Photography, Visual Arts, Video, and Music chosen from over 530 projects submitted to national contests in 19 European countries.
The criteria for the jury's decision were: creativity/innovation, interpretation of the brand, artistic qualities, capacity to be used in the brand communication.
The European judges come from various European countries (Croatia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the U.K.) and have different professional backgrounds and areas of expertise.
