Dupli-Color announces its Restoration Challenge:
Generation Next, a contest for automotive
vocational school and high school students to
compete for the chance to win thousands of dollars
in retailer merchandise and scholarships.
Through June 24, 2011, teams may submit proposals
for fall auto projects using at least ten different
Dupli-Color products. Three teams will then be
chosen to participate in the Restoration Challenge
based on their creativity, detail, feasibility and
product use. Each team selected will receive enough
Dupli-Color products to complete the projects, as
well as $5,000 toward supplies from one of three
retail sponsors: Advance Auto Parts, O’Reilly Auto
Parts and Pep Boys.
In September, the competing teams will begin to
document the projects and post updates on Facebook,
where fans can vote each week for their favorite
project. In November 2011, the team with the most
votes will be named the Grand Prize winner. Each
member of the winning team will receive a $10,000
scholarship to Ohio
Technical College, along with a celebratory
party hosted by DJ Funkmaster Flex, host of MTV’s
Funk Flex Full Throttle. Each member of the second
place team will receive $7,500 to Ohio Technical
College, and third place winners will receive
$5,000 scholarships.
Dupli-Color is hosting the contest following the
success of last year’s Restoration Challenge, which
encouraged auto enthusiasts to enter and vote for
their DIY projects on Facebook. This year, the
company hopes to engage students and allow them
explore their creativity.
“This was an opportunity for Dupli-Color to reach
out to the young people who are interested in
automotive restoration, and to help familiarize
them with our product offerings,” says Fred Hunt,
Director of Product Development, Dupli-Color. “We
wanted to give students the opportunity to learn
and demonstrate their skills. And all winners will
receive scholarships, so they have the option to
take their educations even further. It’s a great
benefit to everyone involved.”
To enter a class for Restoration Challenge:
Generation Next, a teacher or administrator must
submit a proposal on Dupli-Color’s Facebook page or
at www.restogennext.com. Only one
entry per school will be considered valid. For a
