This means that entrants can design their dream Vespa at their company end-of-year bash, during Christmas dinner, while lying on the beach in Plettenberg Bay or anywhere far away from the pressures of deadlines and client demands.
The prize remains, of course, an ultra-stylish Vespa LX150 wrapped in the winner's original design.
Entering Art Vespa 2009 is easy:
The winning entry and two runners-up, as judged by an international panel from Piaggio in Italy, will be displayed at the Design Indaba in Cape Town, 27 February - 1 March 2009, for all to admire.
Now in its fourth year, the design competition - open to creatives across the country - has attracted increasing numbers of inspired entries, including some from beyond South African borders.
