“The goal of the competition was to create opportunities for children to have fun drawing their dream car of the future. We wanted to see how their imaginations could run wild and inspire creativity,” said Toyota chairman Naoya Taniguchi.
“Dreams and how we can inspire the young people of tomorrow are very important to Toyota. The subject of ‘future cars’ and future technology is at the heart of our business, which is why we spend more on research and development than any other vehicle manufacturer.”
Toyota recently held a special ceremony at its head office in Surrey to celebrate the winners’ achievements, with the event being attended by many of the young artists and their family members.
“This was the first year we held the competition in the UK and it proved very popular with hundreds of entries across each age category. The judging panel was impressed with the level of creativity, originality and, above all, imagination from everyone who entered,” John Thomson, Toyota Marketing Director, said.
There are fifteen short listed finalists who will be entered in the global competition, having a chance to win a trip to Japan this year. The competition has three age categories: under 10 years, 10 to 12 years and 13 to 15 years. You can see the full list of winners in the pdf file below.
