Royal Enfield has been holding its ‘Art of Motorcycling’ competition for 3 years in a row now. Now, the ‘#ArtofMotorcycling’ has arrived again for the fourth time. The Season 4 Royal Enfield is taking the challenge to the global scale, inviting artists, designers and creative enthusiasts from countries around the world.
Entrants from places such as Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico will join in the celebration of motorcycling culture through art.
Royal Enfield ‘Art of Motorcycling’: ‘Y3K edition’
Season 4 of the competition carries the theme - ‘Y3K Edition.’ This edition will focus on creative energies themed around the imagery of the year 3000 A.D. The manufacturer wants artists to reimagine ‘the relationship between humanity, technology and the pursuit of freedom on two wheels.’
The artistic feel of the entries is encouraged to be around the exploration of futuristic worlds, galactic landscapes and uncharted adventures — a time when a ride on one's motorcycle becomes more than just a ride.
