One Car Challenge 2025

We invite 3D artists to participate in our 12th annual Car Render Challenge, a significant event for the automotive 3D modeling and visualization community. This year's edition is titled "One Car Challenge".

This year, we have new, unusual rules that will challenge your creativity and transform the contest into a real competition.

Everyone starts with the same base model! Each participant gets the same 3D car and can modify it however they like: add an environment, use HDRi lighting, or turn it into a flying car in a post-apocalyptic world. No creative limits! You can submit a still render or even an animation - it's up to you.

Please review the full contest rules here.

Judging criteria include visual appeal, concept originality, presentation, technical complexity of both the model and scene, and overall execution quality. We're looking for entries that convey a narrative and engage the viewer.

The challenge is supported by leading companies in the 3D industry. In addition to the main prizes, participants have the opportunity to win special awards. See the terms and conditions at the bottom of the page for details.

We look forward to seeing your creations. Best of luck with your renders!
