# [OFFICIAL] The r/AudiF1 Best Fan Art Contest is LIVE!

r/AudiF1, the moment is officially here. The Audi F1 team reached out, and they want to see the incredible artistic talent this community holds.

They are laying down the gauntlet for our very first Best Fan Art Contest, and the prompt is simple: Show us your best Audi F1 fan art.

Whether you are a 3D modeler designing concept liveries, a digital illustrator drawing custom driver helmets, a graphic designer creating stunning race posters, or a traditional painter, this is your canvas.

### The Prizes: The Two-Tier Winner System
We want to make sure everyone gets a fair shot, so we are crowning two separate champions for this contest:

* **1. The Community Choice Winner:** You, the subreddit, will decide this one. To enter for the community prize, simply drop your fan art directly as a comment reply in this thread. We may create a separate post later to host the final voting block.

* **2. The Audi Team Choice Winner:** We will package the top finalist entries from this thread into an art portfolio and hand it directly over to the official Audi F1 team. They will personally review the designs and select their favorite piece.

Both winners will receive exclusive, permanent community user flair, massive bragging rights, and a spotlight showcase pinned at the top of the sub.

### The Rules & Community Guardrails
Because the official team is watching this space, we have to keep our contest clean, fair, and respectful. Please read these guidelines carefully before submitting:
* **Keep it Appropriate:** Absolutely no offensive, inappropriate, political, or explicit content. Keep the artwork focused entirely on the spirit of racing and the Audi brand.
* **Original Work Only:** Submissions must be your own creation. Plagiarism, uncredited asset theft, or low-effort AI generation will result in immediate disqualification.
* **No Commercial Links:** Do not include links to personal storefronts, paid download links, or commercial watermarks on your submission.
* **How to Enter:** Post your fan art directly as a comment in this thread.
### The Timeline
* **Submissions Open:** Right now!

* **Voting & Judging Begins:** July 19th
The eyes of the team are officially on us. Let's show them the unbelievable creative talent behind r/AudiF1!
Get creating, and good luck!

Hi guys,

I am currently building out the concept of a fan first formula one motorsport team trying to answer the question of "What if Formula 1's next team belonged to the fans?"

Sports such as Fútbol and American Football have teams who have successfully done this giving the fans part ownership in a team. Our goal is to provide the same opportunity to the growing fanbase of Formula 1. Here's the plan which I am asking permission to execute on starting inside of the formula 1 subreddit:

Phase 1: Phase 1: Build Demand

Prove that the idea resonates win the fans.

Key Metrics:

• Supporters Headcount
• Countries represented
• Social following
• Media mentions
• Ownership interest surveys
• Community engagement

Phase 2: Build Credibility

Get:

• former drivers
• motorsport journalists
• investors
• sponsors
...involved as advisors or supporters.

Phase 3: Fan Ownership Vehicle

This is where lawyers come in.

Fund:

• Self-Hosted Reg A+ Fund

The exact structure would depend on:

• country
• securities laws
• investor requirements

Phase 5: Acquire A Racing Asset

Start small, grow big:

• F2 team (If team is for sale at needed time)
• F3 team (With FIA clearance)
• Significant minority stake in an existing operation

Phase 6: Second Fan Round

Allow those who missed the first round of funding join

For:

• Larger media presence
• Larger fan engagement
• More credibility and working capital

Phase 7: Karting/junior program

Build a funnel of young karting racers to bring into our F2/3/4 teams

Build:

• Karting team
• Pipeline of 8-10 drivers
• Media presence allowing fans to see their money support driving careers

Phase 8: Big Money to unlock Formula 1

Bring in Private investors in Formula 1 world:

• Ex-Drivers (Hamilton at this point in time*)
• Motorsport investors (Toto Wollf + Nico Rosenberg)
• Private Motorsport Enthusiasts

Phase 9: Formula 1

Buy our Seat:

• Buy from underperforming Formula 1 Team
• Get backed/approved by FIA

What the fans will get out of this:

Fan will earn,

• An actual share in the Motorsport company
• Exclusive perks:
• Voting rights on liveries
• Investor exclusive paddock experiences (sweepstakes)
• Exclusive investor merch sent each year (free bonus)
• Investor exclusive tours of facility (sweepstakes)
• Investor exclusive invitations to watch race from pit lane (sweepstakes)

What this will create:

The largest media presence in sports history,

• Media coverage of how many fan investors we have
• How much money was invested into the team
• How many countries are onboard
• Social media following the young drivers from karting to Formula 1

With this we will create a massive fan base as fans connect with the young drivers since they are funding them and will watch their driving careers grow over the years.

What this creates is:

• Growing and loyal fanbase
• High merch sales
• High media presence
• Higher viewership of entire sport (Gains approval from FIA and F1)
• Higher chance of sponsors at each level, increasing revenues in all categories

This is the chance to create the largest and fastest growing fanbase of a sports team backed by the fans themselves ever. It will be a snowballing effect of revenue, viewership, sponsors with the end goal of getting 2 driver seats in Formula 1.

Are you in for the ride?Thank you for your time.

Best,
