Notice of Performance Driven BBS Photo Contest 2026

BBS Japan Co., Ltd. (President: Takayuki Nitta; Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) will hold its 5th photo contest. This year, to commemorate the announcement of the new tagline "Performance Driven" effective from January 2026, the contest is renewed and calls for entries from both domestic and international participants.

"Performance Driven" embodies BBS's raison d'être rooted in motorsports and symbolizes the spirit of passing on that legacy to the next generation. It breathes the philosophy of BBS that pursues ultimate performance and continues to create functional beauty through uncompromising craftsmanship.

Based on the concept of "Performance Driven," the contest has established four new categories: "Timeless Classic," "BBS Legends," "Motorsport," and "Performance Driven." All categories are born from words that symbolize BBS. Please submit works that reflect the BBS culture unique to each region, aligned with the theme of each category.

Anyone who owns BBS wheels can enter via Instagram. The contest aims to connect users worldwide and share the appeal of BBS. We look forward to your best shot.

Selected works will receive a BBS logo photo panel using the submitted photo, original goods, and will be featured in the 2027 BBS original desktop calendar. We eagerly await the masterpieces that will adorn next year's calendar.
