The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest encourages children all over the world to dream, imagine, and inspire one another. Toyota has inspired nearly 6.2 million children from 100 countries to dream since 2004. Toyota encourages children to believe in the power of their imagination and to connect to the world through their dream cars.
The competition fosters and inspires creative expression and inventiveness while pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking. It is an opportunity for tomorrow's engineers, designers, and creative thinkers to let their imaginations run wild by designing their own 'Dream Car.'
Every great idea was born in the glimmer of a dream, and we at Toyota hope that this activity will help nurture the creativity of the next generation of great inventors, thinkers, and dreamers.
