About the World Championships
In 2020 Automechanika Frankfurt will feature Body & Paint as an independent product group for the very first time. In celebration of this occasion Automechanika launches the international competition – with events taking place in six countries: the UK, South Africa, China, Dubai, Mexico and Germany. In each country Body & Paint professionals will design the bonnet of a car while using the country in which the Automechanika fair is being held as their inspiration. In each location, a panel of experts is charged with picking a national winner who will then get to go to Frankfurt for the finals. In addition, trade visitors will be able to help select the people’s choice winner by voting for their personal favourites at the event and online. The winner of the people’s choice award will receive a surprise package sponsored by SATA.
Voting for each show will be open for 14 days after the first day of the show.
