Check-Mate!

The Brief

The checkered flag — a symbol of victory, speed, and competitive drive. In the spirit of competition and creativity on MINI Space, we’re launching one of our most ambitious design challenges yet: winning submissions must somehow include a checker-themed pattern. Exploring this theme through graphic design, photography or illustration can take any form! Just think checkered — whether your work is inspired by the colorful tabletops of summertime cookouts, the black-and-white checks of classic ska or tiled patterns found in nature or city streets, bring them to life on MINI Space! To honor your efforts, MINI Space is partnering with The MINI International magazine to raise the stakes even higher. Not only could you win prizes you’ll want to wave your (checkered) flag about, but top submissions will also have their work featured in print, featured in the next issue of The MINI International magazine. It’s like a high-profile victory lap showcasing your creative work.

1. Submit a creative work that includes some form of “checkered“ design.
2. Play by the rules:
   - Your submission must be 100% your own original work.
   - No logos, please.
3. Submit it to us MINI Space!

Achieve global fame and admiration regardless of the outcome - all outstanding images will be featured as beautiful backgrounds on MINI Space.
