Just imagine: You’re in prime location at the 2012 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX, watching Mark Webber whiz around the track wearing a race helmet that YOU designed. Then, when you meet up over the race weekend, he shakes your hand and gives you the helmet to keep forever.
Mark Webber’s favourite helmet design will win:

Hello_Just wondering if there was a way to check if the files were sent / received correctly, without having to ask you, over and over again_is there a link to the database to do so? cheers & all the best. J
Unfortunately not – something we will definitely be looking into for future comps though! I’ve just checked and we’ve received your designs.
Hi,
Thank you Mark Webber Site Manager for your help. I think I finally solved the problem and sent the file through today, but if you could please confirm you have received my entry that would be great. Sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing.
Kind Regards,

Hey, just wondering if my design got accepted because I didn’t see it appear on the site?
Yes it was submitted correctly. You won’t see it appear anywhere on site or on Facebook once you’ve submitted it. We have simply selected a random few designs to showcase on Facebook – they don’t automatically appear there.

Hi, I just submitted my helmet design today… Could you please let me know if you have recieved it and it is in the correct format?
Thanks
Hi,
think i just worked it out and feel like a bit of a ninny, but if you could confirm that would be great.
Thanks Dan.
Hi Dan – what you need to do is put all your five images into one zip file that’s no larger than 5MB (rather than individually zip each image). There is an instruction sheet with the template download pack, but if you’re having trouble I’m sure one of our tech team can help you.
hey guys, might be a silly question but just wondering if you choose 1 zip file at a time while uploading?
Thanks, Dan
Hi, just entered my design,exciting stuff. can someone let me know if you got it. Cheers
Regards Michael Wehr
Why do people keep asking the same stupid question! I am sure you have more to do than reply to a bunch of impatient want to be Picasso’s ……
Hi, I’m just enquiring to see if my design has been successfully submitted
My better half submitted a design on through my facebook page. we just used both our names and just saw it has to be individuals submitting. Is it ok to resubmit with just one name (work was just done by one person)?
Hi Deirdre – it’s fine for you to resubmit your design under one name.
Hi guys, can you please confirm if you have my design or not? never sure if I uploaded it right? cheers
Great opportunity! Have you recieved my entry…
Hi, canyou please confirm my entry has been received ?
May I make correcctions on the design I submitted?
Hi Dian – you can submit another entry, but I’m afraid you can’t change any of the already submitted designs.
Hope that my submission has made it, had some troubles uploading at first.
hi, i uploaded a new design and i was hoping for conformation that it has uploaded correctly, thanks
Hi Timothy – your first design was received and was submitted correctly.
Hi. You are probably getting sick of this question, but could you tell me if you received my design for the helmet competition please?
It’s certainly keeping us busy! Don’t worry, your design was submitted correctly and has been received.
is it the best designs that get put up on his facebook page?
No – just a random selection of entries design to show a cross section of what we’ve received so far.
also if you just called the zip file that you uploaded “webber” will you still know who submitted it? cheers
It doesn’t matter what the file is called, you will have filled in contact details along with your entry so it will be credited to you.
sorry for the repeated question but have you received my design? my computer has a history of not working. cheers
hi i sent my design again could you check its not corrupted.
Hi Daniel – we have just checked your file again and unfortunately we are still unable to extract the zip file as it appears to be corrupted. I am going to put our tech team in touch with you to see if they can help resolve the issue.
Hi, I was just wondering whether you have received my design or not??
I sent my entry 2 days ago, but is it possible to enter another one?
regards Florece
Hi there – yes, if you scroll down this page you’ll see I’ve said to others enquiring that there are no rules against entering the competition more than once.
Thanks for the quick reply…just wondering…can a person enter more than once? I didn’t seen anything in the rules about multiple entries. Thanks!
Hi there – as mentioned previously in this comment thread, there are no restrictions on entering the comp more than once.
Hi!
I sent it, but I can not see.What is wrong? Help me please
Hi Kata – your design has been received. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to see it – it’s hidden in our database until the comp closes and Mark selects a winner!
have you received my creation?
THANKS
Arnaud
Hi guys – any chance of getting a few more entries posted so everyone can have a look at the great talent out there???
There will be an entry or two posted on Mark’s Facebook page each week – then after the comp closes we’ll showcase a few more.
hello again could you confirm you got my entry.
Hi Daniel – both of your entries appear on our database but unfortunately when we tried to extract the zip files they both appear to be corrupted. Perhaps you could try re-saving your design using the guidelines on the entry page? If you’re still stuck, we can put you in touch with our IT team.
Hi from Oz again! I forgot to ask whether or not you have recieved my entry for the helmet thanks guys!
Could you please tell me if there is an attached page so i could have a gander at the helmet designs for the Singapore Competition, would love to see what impressive designs are out there in cyberspace, cheers
Hi there – each week a design will be selected from the database and shown on Mark’s Facebook page (we’ve done a few already). Once the competition closes we’ll showcase a few more that were short listed for all to see.

Hi Russell – no, there is no return email. However I can confirm your submission was received.

Well done Mark @ Silverstone, thanks for creating this competition, and please confirm my entry is received, thanks
Hi Sandeep – yes, you successfully uploaded your entry!
i have one more question, because i drew it all, it’s not perfectly portioned will that be a problem or will it be fixed and re portioned correctly?
how do i know if ive submitted my helmet design correctly?, and because i drew it by hand and coloured the sponsors and design will the small white gaps threw the colouring show up on the helmet?
Hi Timothy – don’t worry, your design was successfully submitted to the database. Really you should use the templates provided (download the files in your preferred format, draw on, then scan back in and send via zip file), however you have followed the template design very closely so I’m sure that’s fine.
Just submitted my design whilst watching Mark win at Silverstone! Let’s hope he can bring it home in Singapore wearing my design.

Hi Simon, I’m afraid that we are only offering the file formats we have already provided for download to keep things simple and fair – hope you understand!
I dont know how to enter how do i enter??
Hi Kasey – you need to ‘like’ Mark’s page on Facebook to be able to view the promotion. The entry details are all there once you do. Simply download the template format of choice, design the templates (all five), then upload as a zip file. If you are still having trouble we can get one of our IT people to contact you.

Hello there, My computer skills are limited and i was hoping for confirmation that my entry was submitted as instructed…..Thank you and have a great day.
Hi Leanne – don’t worry, your design has been submitted just fine. Good luck in the comp!
Hi guys
uploaded my entry last night. It’s represents both contempory and cultural Australia, hence the combination of green & gold flames, indigenous art complete with boomerangs and bosing kangaroo. It’s also to remind Mark that all of Australia are behind him all the way. Enjoy!
Gday MW Team!
I’ve uploaded my design today. It’s an Aboriginal/Dreaming theme. If anyone knows anything about Aussie grit it’s the Aboriginal people! Around the base is the Rainbow Snake; the creator of the land and thus the road upon which Mark is a master. On the top is the story of how the the Southern Cross came to be, with Cockatoos as the points. Also representative of the Eureka – an important event in Australian political history. You can’t get more Australian than the Ularu – Ayers Rock – at the heart of Australia. And just like the Boomerang, Mark keeps coming back! And then around the back is the Bullroarer – I think it speaks for itself.
It wont win any contests for colouring in between the lines, granted – I’m no artists. But even if I don’t win, I hope it’s well received. When I saw this competition I had an epiphany and had to get it out of my head and onto paper!
Cheers,
Justin.
Sounds fantastic Justin – good luck in the competition!
Hey guys! could you please confirm receipt of my entry as my facebook froze after I clicked ‘submit’
Thanks!
Hi Christopher – don’t worry, your entry made it into our database despite Facebook freezing. Good luck in the comp!
are you allowed to draw on the red bull logo?
Hi Ethan – I’m afraid the Red Bull logo will need to remain as-is, but you can draw around it/behind it.
Re: Julia’s question, the offical entry T&Cs note only one entry person. This is on the Facebook upload page. ?
