The competition will run from January 2012 until May 2012. The judges then will choose a set of finalists to compete against each other for the grand prizes, the paid internships. After this final phase ends, the finalists will be invited to attend the Paris Motor Show in September 2012, where their work will be displayed and the winners will be announced.
