Art of Motorcycling: Royal Enfield’s global creative challenge returns for Season 4

Royal Enfield’s Art Of Motorcycling initiative is back for a fourth season, and this time it’s going global. What began as a platform for Indian artists to celebrate the spirit of motorcycling has now extended its reach to creative enthusiasts across the world. Season 4, called the ‘Y3K Edition’, invites participants to imagine motorcycling in the distant future, challenging them to explore how technology and freedom on two wheels might evolve by the year 3000.

With submissions open from countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, and Brazil, the competition has grown significantly in scope. Participants can now submit designs under four distinct categories: Gen AI, Digital Art, Handcrafted, and Comic Art, with the latter encouraging artists to merge storytelling and visual creativity.

This year, the judging panel features a blend of global and regional experts, including notable names like experiential designer Aaquib Wani, animation filmmaker Debjyoti Saha, Japanese Manga artist Haruka Santoka, and visual artist Varun Gupta. Entries will also be evaluated by public social polls, giving the creative community a say in the process.

The top entries will be showcased at Royal Enfield’s annual Motoverse event, with winners earning an all-expenses-paid trip to display their designs on exclusive apparel. For those working in the Comic Art category, there’s an additional opportunity to collaborate with Royal Enfield on future projects.

Interested candidates can head over to the Art Of Motorcycling section on Royal Enfield’s website post 1800hrs today to register in their preferred category. They can then create their design and share it on Instagram, tagging @royalenfield. Submissions are open until October 20, with winners announced in early November. Alongside the competition, Season 4 also features virtual masterclasses and collaborations with design-focused brands, continuing Royal Enfield’s effort to blend motorcycling with artistic expression.
