Winners of the recent UAE National Day competition run by Mercedes Benz Middle East & Levant go the chance to see their entries brought to life as custom-wrapped decals on a convoy of GL-Class models.

Entries were submitted from across the Emirates through Mercedes-Benz Facebook and Instagram accounts, with the most eye-catching, creative designs judged as those from: Prakyath Rai, Ryan Cristobal, Erwin Fernandes, Bushra Nasr, Majda Zada and Nazim Maroof.

In addition, three GL-Class models were wrapped thanks to designs from three local emerging artists – Ali Alosh, Maliha Naseem and Rashid Al Mulla. The convoy of 10 custom-wrapped GL-Class models passed iconic landmarks in Dubai before proceeding to Abu Dhabi.
