World Car Awards
The World Car Awards (formerly World Car of the Year, WCOTY) is a group of automobile Car of the Year awards selected by a jury of 82 international automotive journalists from 24 countries. Cars considered must be sold in at least five countries, on at least two continents prior to 1 January of the year of the award. The contest was inaugurated in 2003, and officially launched in January 2004.[citation needed]
This started as a single award, similar to many of the continent and nation specific Car of the Year awards already given.[1] Since 2006, awards for performance, green cars, and car design have also been given.[2] In April 2013, an award for luxury design was inaugurated.[citation needed]
