Aspiring Automotive Designers Create 2025 Dodge For FCA Contest (PHOTOS)

The FCA U.S. Design team partners with the CCS each year to challenge high school students to create a next generation Dodge. This year's participants were asked to create a vehicle to be released in the year 2025.

All students were asked to submit a 500-word essay explaining what the Dodge brand means to them and hand-drawn sketches of their design.

"It's been exciting to see this competition grow from a local level to now reaching students from all across the nation," said Mark Trostle - Head of SRT, Mopar and Motorsports Design, FCA US LLC, in a company statement. "Partnering with CCS and Detroit Autorama gave us the exposure needed to attract young, creative minds and hopefully inspire them to explore automotive design as a potential career."

The four winners selected for their designs include:

First place winner- Joshua Blundo, Moultonborough Academy (Moultonborough, New Hampshire)

Second place winner- Conner Stormer, Stoney Creek High School (Rochester Hills, Michigan)

Third place winner - Hwanseong Jang, Bloomfield Hills High School (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan)

Fourth place winner- Dongwon Kim, Homestead High School (Sunnydale, California)

Blundo received a $60,000 scholarship to CCS for his efforts.

The four winners were given prizes, including a three-week summer automotive design course at CCS, which includes meals, field trips and housing. Winners also received passes to Detroit Autorama and a iPad or MacBook.

The four winning designs were put on display in the Mopar booth at the Detroit Autorama earlier this month.
