COMPETITION PROCESS

The world’s first diesel hybrid ute is being launched by Chery in Australia at the end of the year – but it doesn’t yet have a name. Chery is offering Australians the opportunity to name the ute – and win one!

1. Go to Chery AU Website
2. Share the name you think the ute should be called
3. Write a short explanation of why you think this name should be the winner (this is important because if there is more than one entry of the same name, the winner will be selected on the strength of the accompanying rationale behind the naming)
4. Include contact details
5. Agree to T&Cs

Chery will choose a short list of entries (subject to IP and trademark clearance) that will then be put to public vote. The results of the public vote will be taken into consideration by Chery when determining the final winning entry, however the final decision will be made by Chery.

This is classified as a game of skill, chance plays no part in determining the winner.
