Terms & Conditions

Get creative! We’re open to fresh ideas, new colours and a completely new look!

• Each design must include two matching versions: one with Future Motor Lease and another with FML.
  • Both versions count as one entry, and you can submit up to three different design concepts. Make sure your designs will look great on websites, social media, print, signage and vehicles. Check out the below examples. Each block counts as one entry.
    
• All designs must be original, created by the entrant and must not infringe any third-party intellectual-property rights.
• Copied logos, stock logo templates and unlicensed artwork are not permitted.
• Generative AI may be used for inspiration and conceptual exploration but the final logo must be original human-created artwork, not wholly or substantially AI-generated.
• Future Motor Lease may request working files or evidence of the creative process to verify originality.
• Entries must not contain offensive, discriminatory or unlawful material.

• Entries will be evaluated by a Future Motor Lease-appointed judging panel based on creativity, originality, brand relevance, memorability and versatility.
• The winner will be selected on creative merit, not through a random draw.
• Future Motor Lease may conduct originality and trade-mark checks before confirming the winning design.
• Future Motor Lease reserves the right not to select a winner if no eligible design meets its reasonable creative and commercial requirements.
• The judges’ decision is final, subject to applicable law.

• The competition is open to South African residents aged 18 years or older.

• Future Motor Lease employees, directors, competition judges and their immediate family members are not eligible to enter.

• Entrants must own the rights to the designs they submit.

The winning designer will receive:

• R10,000 cash prize.
• A dedicated page on Future Motor Lease website, recognising them as the designer of the winning logo.
• An optional link to their professional portfolio or website, should they wish to include one.

The winner will be contacted using the details provided during entry and must respond within five business days.

The cash prize will be paid within ten business days after verification, agreed final artwork handover and signing of the required agreements.

Designer Recognition

• Future Motor Lease will create a dedicated website page acknowledging the winning designer within 60 days of winner confirmation. The page may include the designer’s name, their creative concept and, with their permission, a biography, photograph or professional portfolio link.
• The recognition page will remain available while Future Motor Lease operates its official website, subject to reasonable technical, legal and operational changes.
• Future Motor Lease may update, replace or discontinue the winning logo at any time. This will not, by itself, affect the designer’s recognition benefit.

• All entrants retain ownership of their designs unless selected as the winner and the required intellectual-property assignment becomes effective.
• Entrants grant Future Motor Lease permission to store and internally review submitted designs for competition administration and judging.
• The winning designer must sign a separate agreement transferring all agreed transferable rights in the winning design to Future Motor Lease. The transfer will become effective upon payment of the R10,000 prize, as specified in that agreement.
• The winner must provide fully editable source files, including Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or equivalent vector files, SVG, EPS, PDF and high-resolution PNG versions. The final logo must include full-colour, black and white versions, suitable for use on both light and dark backgrounds. Both the Future Motor Lease and FML logo variations must be supplied in these formats.
• The prize includes up to two rounds of reasonable minor design refinements. Substantial redesigns or additional branding work are excluded.
• Following the effective transfer, Fuure Motor Lease may use, reproduce, adapt, modify, animate, commercialise, register, replace or discontinue the winning logo without additional royalties, subject to applicable law and the signed agreement.
• Unsuccessful designs remain the property of their creators and will not be commercially used by Future Motor Lease without separate permission.

• Future Motor Lease may disqualify entries that breach the above Terms & Conditions, including copied artwork, false information or prohibited AI-generated designs.
• Future Motor Lease may reasonably amend, extend, suspend or cancel the competition where necessary due to legal, technical or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
• Future Motor Lease is not responsible for entries lost due to technical issues outside its reasonable control.
• Entrants are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights to submit their work. Future Motor Lease reserves its rights to pursue legally available remedies for material misrepresentation or infringement.
• Personal information will be processed in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and Future Motor Lease’s Privacy Policy.
• Entrants will not automatically be subscribed to marketing communications.
• The competition is governed by the laws of South Africa, and nothing in these terms excludes mandatory statutory rights.
