How is Local Motors different from other portfolio hosting sites, or other car design competitions?
We are building a community that puts the designer on a pedestal. This is not a black box, where you send stuff to us and a discrete panel of judges tells you if it is good. This is an interactive community where comments and suggestions and voting are happening on real time. This feedback is the LARGEST value designers receive from the site. Based on interviewing many designers, we know that this is something that is really exciting and has not been done before. We understand that sharing design is challenging, but the value received from the community far exceeds the fear that people will only take and not give. We run a competition every month, and pay out every month. Not every year. True, we cannot make every car which wins. We do not intend to, but that does not mean that we cannot celebrate and offer a community for great design.
