About the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest
The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest, first held in 2004, gives children around the world a hands-on experience to feel the joy and importance of having dreams. It is also meant to provide children with an opportunity for developing an interest in cars.
Thanks to the support and cooperation of the children around the world who drew their works and sent them in, and of
the distributors and affiliates who organized local competitions in their respective countries or regions, the contest marked its 16th year in 2023.
Entries in this year’s contest were approximately 780,000 from 90 countries and regions. The award-winning entries were selected in National contests held around the world from March 2022 to February 2023, with the winning artworks submitted to be judged for the world contest. In May 2023, the entries were judged and award winners were selected.
The judges in the 3 Age categories were comprised not only of Toyota Motor Corporation Representatives but of Art Experts and Automotive Specialists outside of Toyota.
