“The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest” is a prestigious global competition that invites children aged 15 and under to imagine the future of mobility through their artistic expression by drawing their “dream car.” Launched in 2004 and expanded globally by 2011, the contest has become a platform for young minds around the world to showcase their creativity.
The competition takes place in two stages: first at the local level in participating countries and regions, followed by the World Contest in Japan, where the most exceptional works are recognized on a global scale.
As part of its mission to “Produce Happiness for All,” Toyota believes that creativity drives progress. The contest not only celebrates the artistic talents of the next generation but also aligns with Toyota’s commitment to shaping a more innovative and sustainable future.
This contest offers young participants a unique opportunity to share their bold ideas and contribute to the future of mobility on a global stage.
