While F1 teams begin recruiting younger and younger drivers to their development programs, Ferrari is one of the few that brings young talent into other aspects of its operation, as well. The Italian marque has launched numerous initiatives with educational institutions, and has now targeted aspiring automotive designers with an international competition.
The contest brings design students from around the world together to compete for a chance to intern at Maranello, along with cash prizes. Some 50 different design schools entered the competition, of which seven have been selected as finalists: Detroit's College for Creative Studies, Turin's IED and IAAD, Barcelona's European Design Institute, London's Royal College of Arts, India's DSK Supinfocom and Seoul's Hog-ik College. Only six were originally to be picked, but the jury opted to include one more.
