A SHARED MISSION
At first glance, some may wonder why such different companies are working together, but the truth is that our passion for innovation binds us, and Mercedes-Benz understands the value of creativity in a way that many technology-focused brands don't. By joining forces, we are creating change through the power of art.
"The non-automotive view of the world we live in.
The Golden Ticket Challenge provide us with the opportunity of taking an outside view of topics which are important for us. The artefacts will be used as input for discussion and opening the horizon for our creative people."
Sabine Engelhardt
[Mercedes-Benz futurologist and scent expert]

THEME: Your Submission Must Reflect it
You Only Live Once
Our environment is becoming hostile: wars, economic and social issues, global warming resulting in extreme weather… And safe havens are nowhere to find.
What if you could create it, with no limitations? Something completely different and beyond your wildest dreams, in contrast with the unpleasant reality of the outside world. Would you create a personal oasis? Invent new luxuries? Would it be futuristic, or back to the roots?
Mercedes-Benz sets this year’s theme and invites you to answer these questions with your art. Ready?
You can use any 2D, 3D, traditional, or mixed media techniques as long as you can deliver digital images as work-in-progress shots and a final image in high resolution.
Entries must be new artworks specifically made for the challenge and cannot be based on the concept art of another artist.
By joining Golden Ticket, you agree that you will not use Generative AI at any point in the creation process of your submission.
