Toyota Dream Car Art Contest invites children from all corners of the globe to share ideas about the future of mobility by drawing their dream cars.
Its aim is to nurturing the creativity of the next generation of great inventors, thinkers and dreamers. Every great idea was born in the glimmer of a dream. Applicants are sorted into three age categories:
• 7 years old and under
• 8-11 years
• 12-15 years
Hand-drawn artworks have to feature unique concepts of their "Dream Car". You can use any standard drawing medium you like (colouring pencils, crayons, watercolours, markers, etc.). The only restriction is that you don’t use digital tools to create your artwork.
«Every year, it's exciting to see how youth around the world envision the future of transportation. I find it inspiring to see young people incorporate social responsibility into their designs, dreaming of cars that help clean the ocean, end homelessness, and provide mobility to those who are physically challenged» (Mike Groff, President & CEO of Toyota Financial Services).
Please note: the contest timeline and requirements may vary in different countries or regions. We advice to confirm the contest details with the Toyota distributor in the country or region of your residence.
