The Contechs Design Award returns for 2026, marking its 19th year of recognising emerging automotive design talent.
Delivered in collaboration with Coventry University, the award places a spotlight on final-year future design leaders from the University's Transport Design course.
Established in memory of Contechs co-founder Steve Olney, the award reflects Steve’s passion for design, innovation and engineering excellence that still defines the business today. Over nearly two decades, it has helped spotlight students at the very start of their careers, many of whom have gone on to shape the industry across leading OEMs and design studios worldwide.
