The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is a global competition that invites children to unleash their creativity and draw their dream cars. The contest comprises two phases: the National Contest, which takes place in individual countries and regions, and the World Contest, which is held in Japan.

During the National Contest, children from participating countries and regions can submit their artwork to showcase their creativity and imagination. Winners from each National Contest are then invited to compete at the World Contest in Japan. This provides a unique opportunity for talented young artists from different countries to come together, exchange ideas and cultures, and celebrate their passion for art and innovation.

“Your Dream Car”

We encourage children to unleash their imagination and creativity to design their ultimate car of the future. The artwork can reflect the child’s wildest fantasies and visions, considering the latest technological advancements and environmental sustainability. We encourage the children to envision cars that could meet their needs and contribute to a better future society. The sky’s the limit when it comes to designing their dream car, and we look forward to seeing the diverse and innovative interpretations of the contest theme.
