Naming and Branding Scholarship

Develop five (5) new name candidates for a new innovation in the automotive industry. Imagine a completely electric vehicle that you can drive continuously without having to plug in to recharge. The car recharges itself through wind energy generated by two small fans below the headlights that spin while the car is in motion. It is the ultimate renewable energy solution.

Applicants are encouraged to develop coined or suggestive names. The name candidates should not include any obvious existing trademarks in the name and an online search for pre-existing trademarks should be completed before submitting an application. Strategic Name Development, Inc. will not consider any applications that include well-known brand names (Citi®, Gillette®, Xerox®, etc.) or automotive names that already exist including tires, batteries, brakes, etc. (Volkswagen®, Ford®, Midas®, Michelin®, etc.)
