While this design, or one like it may not appear on the streets of Long Island for some time, the iconic Jeep silhouette can be spotted with the top down enjoying our summer breezes. A Jeep Compass at the Mall in Smithtown. Jeep Gladiator going off-road in Riverhead. Jeep Cherokee waiting for the ferry in Ocean Beach, or a Jeep Wrangler picking up lumber in Ronkonkoma.
The competition was launched in 2013 by the Product Design Office as an innovative way to educate young artists about careers in automotive design. Starting locally in Detroit, Drive for Design has grown into a national contest that awards talented students with prizes and unique opportunities to further develop their design skills.
This year’s prizes include one-on-one mentoring time with leading designers at the Stellantis Design Studios, a scholarship to attend College for Creative Studies virtual summer design program and more.
