Reigning World Wrap Masters Champion Ivan Tenchev from Bulgaria recently won the 2018 Wrap Masters Eurasia. Kirill Kukanin from Russia came second, Szebeni József from Hungary came third and Anton Dolnygin from Russia was placed fourth.
The Wrap Masters Eurasia 2018 took place from 8–9 December at FESPA Eurasia 2018. Entrants were put through four gruelling rounds, which included a creative round, and were tasked with wrapping cars and other items using HEXIS vinyl. All entrants were judged on the quality of their installations.
Tenchev commented, ‘This year, World Wrap Masters Eurasia 2018 was really the biggest in the last three years. We had a great show with lots of participants: nine from Bulgaria, two from Russia, two from Spain, two from Hungary, two from Turkey and one from Denmark. The 18 entrants made the competition very diverse and competitive.’
Tenchev expressed his delight in gaining another title under his belt. He said, ‘The title for me is a huge joy and it means a lot to me that my work is appreciated. This was the first competition I participated in after winning the World Wrap Masters Final 2018. I was under a lot of pressure, although I did not show it. The title can be heavy to bear, and everyone wants to take it away, which makes my rivals eager to beat me.’
Anna Hurbanic, the owner of Car Wrapper 3D said, ‘FESPA Eurasia 2018 is the key Eurasian digital and print event, opening a possibility for truly international exhibitors, visitors and wrappers to participate at FESPA events. It was a pleasure to see visitors coming from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The professional level of these competitors at the Wrap Masters Eurasia 2018 was fantastic. Congratulations to the Turkish FESPA team for their flawless event organisation and hospitality and a big thank you to Michael Ryan for his helpfulness and personal presence at all the top moments of the competition. And last but not least, congratulations to all the contestants and above all, to Tenchev.’
