Car Design News is extending the deadline for its inaugural People Awards to 25 August with two new categories added to the mix: the Undiscovered Talent award and the Best Digital Modelling Team.

With a stellar line-up of judges, including Kia’s Karim Habib, Lisa Reeves from Volvo and Volkswagen Klaus Zyciora among others, the People Awards recognises and celebrates the design teams behind the cars. And not just the design directors, but creative talent at every level of the design process: from the CMF team to the UX designers and everyone in-between.

The 14 award categories reflect the broad breath of skills within the automotive industry: from respected traditional skills such as clay modelling to the use of digital tools and from designing for a more equal society to shaping user experience.

GAC has partnered with Car Design News to launch the Undiscovered Talent award aims to find those designers who may or may not be formally trained who possess a stand-out portfolio and a relentless passion for automotive design. For the full description go here.

The Digital Modelling award recognises the team that can bring the sketch to life in the virtual space through data analysis and creative thinking. The full description is here.
