Unveiling the winner of Binance’s global helmet design contest for Alpine F1 driver Pierre Gasly, featuring over 700 entries from 140 countries, merging sports, creativity, and crypto.
In a landmark event combining the worlds of cryptocurrency and Formula 1, Binance is thrilled to announce the winner of the much-anticipated helmet design competition for Pierre Gasly of the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team. This initiative, a testament to the power of fan engagement and creativity, invited fans from across the globe to design a helmet for the F1 driver to wear at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 26, 2023. Today, we reveal the winning design, chosen for its originality and embodiment of the spirit and values of both Binance and Pierre Gasly.
The Competition: A Global Stage for Creativity
Binance users and F1 enthusiasts from around the world were invited to participate in our unique helmet design contest from August 23 to September 8, 2023. Over 700 entries were submitted from more than 140 countries, demonstrating the vast and vibrant creativity of the global Binance and F1 communities. This event was more than a competition; it was a celebration of diversity and innovation, bringing together fans from across the globe, while marrying the excitement of F1 with the innovative spirit of crypto and blockchain.
The Winning Design: A Dream Come True
The stakes of the competition were as high as its creativity. The Grand Prize winner, whose design we are unveiling today, will not only have their artwork showcased on Pierre Gasly's helmet during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but will also receive a replica of the helmet, autographed by Pierre Gasly himself.
The competition was fierce. After numerous rounds of judging, the final five were sent through to Pierre Gasly himself to choose the ultimate winner — a design that represents a bridge between cultures, eras, and communities, all united under the exhilarating umbrella of F1.
In the words of the winner: “Inspired by Binance’s brand, I made black and yellow the predominant colors. I also gave it a glossy surface finish to evoke the golden color and allude to Arabic culture, along with Arabic calligraphy on the sides. Since the race will take place at night, I also used the vibrant pink color of another sponsor to create a contrast with the rest of the design, making the helmet stand out under the nighttime lights.”
Pierre Gasly’s Thoughts on the Winning Design
Thanks to all those who took part. The competition has been a fantastic journey for everyone involved, uniting a community brimming with inventive flair. Having fans from across the world engage with such passion underscores how sport and crypto can forge a more connected and vibrant world.
Pierre Gasly’s take on the whole experience was also one of enthusiasm for the fan-created design. “This design truly encapsulates my partnership with Binance, and my profound connection to my fans and this race in particular,” he said.
The Formula 1 driver also shared his excitement about the community’s involvement: “Seeing all the creative submissions from our passionate community makes me more exhilarated, and I’m humbled by their incredible energy and passion which I’m excited to channel to the race.”
