What is ING Fresh Eyes?
-
ING Fresh Eyes is a worldwide hunt for emerging artists. A celebration of ING’s support for arts, charity and its global Formula 1 sponsorship, ING Fresh Eyes gives up and coming artists a once in a lifetime chance to interpret the unique spirit and passion of Formula 1.
Now in its second year, ING Fresh Eyes is formed of five national competitions for artists in Australia, Spain, UK, BeNeLux and Hungary, with an international contest for artists from the rest of the world, based around the Monaco Grand Prix. Winners of each competition will go behind the scenes of a grand prix with the ING Renault F1 Team and be mentored by a professional artist.
A piece of each winner’s grand prix inspired art will be auctioned for charity at the end of the year.

What you’ll win
-
If you’re one of the six artists selected by our panel of experts, you’ll win a trip to your national grand prix. There, you’ll get exclusive access to the ING Renault F1 Team garage and the track, where you can paint, draw and be inspired by all the energy and excitement. After the race, you’ll produce at least one piece of work that captures the spirit of the sport.
Along the way, you will be mentored by a professional artist who will help you get the most out of the experience.
Both of you will then produce a piece of art, from your experiences. In October, every piece of Formula 1 inspired work will be auctioned to raise money for ING’s chosen charities.
