The inaugural Art of BigFoot Contest in 2017 gathered some of the industries top automotive artists and customizers to create one of a kind pieces of art using the iconic RUPES BigFoot polisher as their canvas. Entries ranged from clean and classic automotive styles, to portraits, and comic book themes. In total the contest collected more than 4 million unique impressions combined across all social media channels and live participants, but in the end the Wonder Woman themed creation took home top honors, earning a cash prize for the Heartfelt Heroes charity, and bragging rights for the team of John Ward and Keith Eccles. All of the creations now reside on permanent display in the RUPES USA BigFoot Detailing Academy where each class of students and visitors to the facility can marvel over the incredible works of art.
