Jawa Kommunity Kustoms Winners Announced

The contest was organised during the lockdown on a popular social media channel and received scores of entries. Over half a million interactions were recorded for having engagement with the online contest. The participants sent their concept designs via sketches, 3D renders and so on. Jawa said that the advantage of a virtual contest was that the participants could truly let their imagination run wild.
