VinFast has awarded 303 prizes worth a combined P5.1 million to standout participants in its nationwide electric vehicle design voting contest, signalling robust interest in the brand’s expanding EV portfolio and the growing traction of sustainable transport among Filipino consumers.
Contest draws over 20,000 participants
The PiliPinas: Your Vote, Your Design for the Future Filipino Drive campaign attracted more than 20,000 voters and over one hundred unique design submissions during its two-week run from October 24 to November 7.
The entries came from communities across major and remote islands, underscoring Filipinos’ eagerness to help shape the future of electric mobility in the country.
During a live awards ceremony, VinFast presented three grand prizes worth P150,000 each to participants who correctly predicted the most favored design and total vote count.
The company also handed out 20 prizes ranging from P40,000 to P80,000 for accurate predictions across the VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8 and VF 9 categories.
In addition, 130 individuals received P15,000 prizes for submitting original design concepts, while 150 voters won P10,000 raffle prizes.
Fifty fresh design concepts showcased
For each of the five model lines, VinFast unveiled ten interior and exterior design options—entirely new concepts developed by its global creative team to capture a spectrum of styles and preferences. Filipinos voted for their favorite concepts both online and through 30 physical ballot boxes placed nationwide.
The strong turnout and close competition among designs demonstrated the public’s keen eye for aesthetics and innovation, as well as VinFast’s alignment with evolving consumer tastes.
The contest’s transparent mechanics—making all 50 designs publicly accessible—reinforced trust and encouraged widespread participation.
Filipinos as co-creators of future EVs
Antonio Zara, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia, said the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to letting customers influence the vehicles destined for Philippine roads.
“VinFast wants Filipinos to become true co-creators of the electric vehicles that will soon be seen on Philippine streets. Each and every selection and idea submitted inspires us to develop vehicles that reflect the Filipino spirit: resilient, steadfast and always striving for a better future,” he said.
