Want amazing odds for a chance to win $500? Enter the Ford design contest!
In a team of 3-5 people, your task is to come up with a creative modification of a Ford vehicle. The final deliverable is a one-page summary and an illustration. You will then present to Ford representatives on the U of I campus on February 17th to compete for big prizes!!!
So far there are only FOUR teams signed up, so the competition is small and the chance for rewards is high! Email hdvance@uiuc.edu for more information or visit the contest website: http://asme.ec.uiuc.edu/forddc
