Elevate All-New Nissan MICRA: The Signature Edition Contest
11 August 2025 – 8th December 2025
Information on how to enter and prizes form part of the OFFICIAL RULES. Please read them carefully before entering.
Designboom and Nissan seek visionary designers to elevate the Nissan MICRA with a bold yet refined Signature Edition design.
****************************************
The challenge is to enhance the exterior presence of the All-New Nissan MICRA through a distinctive design that resonates with a premium, design-savvy audience, without altering its original form or structure. This is an opportunity to create a true signature style for the All-New Nissan MICRA, staying true to its audacious personality.
The aim is to elevate the identity of the Nissan MICRA. The design must focus on enhancing its visual appeal through bold and sophisticated elements. We are looking for a creative execution that feels modern and daring, while maintaining a sense of elegance that would appeal to upscale, design-conscious audiences.
The winning design will be brought to life as part of a special edition: the Nissan MICRA: The Signature Edition. The winning design will be produced in a limited run, making it an exclusive offering. The designer(s) behind the winning design will be credited and recognized as part of the Signature Edition launch campaign.
Please read full description of regulations and benefits in the OFFICIAL RULES.
