After four weeks, over 200 submissions from 19 countries and countless hours of judging deliberation, Nutcase announces today winners of their 2016 Nutcase Unframed design competition. Winning artists will collaborate with the helmet manufacturer to design a helmet in the Unframed Artist Series that go on sale in 2017.
“Judging was harder than ever,” said company founder Michael Morrow. “Fabulous and fun but gut-wrenching nonetheless. We saw so many amazing ideas, creative expression and unfettered enthusiasm that choosing winners was almost a 24-7 obsession for our judges. But we did it – and can’t wait until the final helmets go on sale and help support such a good cause.”
2016 winners include Collin Sekajugo, Uganda/Rwanda; Kyle Confehr, USA and Yan Yan Candy Ng, Hong Kong/Australia.
Like all of their Gen 3 street helmets, the Unframed helmets feature the Nutcase spin dial system for a custom fit, the Fidlock® magnetic chin strap buckle; 360- degree reflectivity as well as 11-vent air cooling and removable visor for comfortable, all weather riding rain or shine. All helmets are certified to all appropriate safety standards.
