2020 Shell Eco-marathon Virtual Programme update:
The global impacts of COVID-19 have meant that all physical events in 2020 have been cancelled. However, while we can’t gather around a track, we’re delighted to share the latest on the alternative Shell Eco-marathon virtual programme.
The annual awards give students the opportunity to compete across several categories, including safety, communications, technical innovation, and vehicle design (for Urban Concept and Prototype).
This year, we were unable to have physical award ceremonies, but we still wanted to honour the students. So, with the support of our partners, special guests and an expert panel of judges, we annouced the 2020 Off-track Awards winners for the first time in virtual ceremonies, live on Instagram and Twitter.
In 2020, despite challenging circumstances, we still received a large number of entries. Visit the Off-track Awards pages per region here to find out who the winners were.
