Grab your favorite art tools and buckle up, racers—your imagination is about to take the wheel! The Beach Buggy Racing Hot Wheels™ Fan Art Contest has returned, and we're inviting creators of every age and skill level to show us something amazing.

THE CHALLENGE

Design an original work of art inspired by Beach Buggy Racing AND Hot Wheels, save it, scan it or snap a clear photo, and send it our way. Do that, and you'll be in the running for a sweet Beach Buggy Racing 2 prize pack!

However you create is fair game: pencils, paint, pixels, clay — we mean it, just so long as you make it yourself. This isn't about being a professional; it's about having fun and letting your creativity fly.

And hey, if you're just getting started on your artistic journey? Even better. We're giving out prizes in multiple categories, including a dedicated one for kids. Originality wins the day here — so if it came from your own hands and your own brain, we want to see it. (Check out the full rules below.)
