For the first time EVER, the Middlecott Sketchbattle Experiment™ is not a side event at the auto show, we are THE EVENT at the Auto Show. Brook and I are excited to announce that on Wednesday, November 16th in Los Angeles, the Middlecott Sketchbattle Experiment™ will be the official party of Automobility LA and the LA Auto Show! And unlike past Designer Parties at the show, entrance is OPEN to everyone – no need to have a fake business card printed.

For the 2016 auto show edition of the Middlecott Sketchbattle Experiment™, we are proud to bring the Detroit Music Scene together the Los Angeles Art and Business Community with assorted engineers, designers and gearheads to celebrate Automotive Design, all the while benefiting The Petersen Automotive Museum
This year, the Middlecott Sketchbattle Experiment™ is presented by BASF. Color is what turns vehicles into emotional products, and in this arena BASF has immense expertise and makes the perfect partner for the event. Both students and professionals alike will compete head to head by sketching in front of the audience in a multi-round competition.

Starting with approximately 16 designers, the competition will consist of 3 rounds, each with it’s own unique subject matter and judging criteria. Each round roughly half of the contestants will be eliminated based on decisions from our panel of industry experts (watch this space for an announcement of the judges).
The winner will get a check for $2,500 compliments of BASF and a Polk Audio system with a value of ~ $5,000.
