Toyota Ireland launches the 13th Annual Dream Car Art Contest for u15s

Toyota Ireland is delighted to announce that promising Irish artists under the age of 15 can now enter submissions for the 13th annual Toyota Dream Car Art Contest. The contest encourages children to imagine what their dream car would be and then to share their vision by drawing or painting the ideal car.

The national competition will see nine Irish finalists awarded a range of prizes at the official awards ceremony in Dublin in March 2019, and their winning entries will then compete against other international finalists for a chance to win a once in a lifetime trip to Japan.

The Dream Car Art Contest is Toyota’s unique platform that encourages imagination and creativity amongst children aged 15 and under, encouraging them to look ahead and imagine how to build a better future.

The contest is going from strength-to-strength, with the 2018 contest seeing over 1,000 entries from primary and secondary students. Children and students showed their creativity and talent across all designs, and Toyota Ireland is looking forward to seeing many more entries this year to inspire the world.

Commenting on the announcement, Michael Gaynor, Toyota Ireland Marketing Director said,

“We’re delighted to launch this year’s Dream Car Art Contest which had a record number of entries last year. This contest is a real demonstration of Toyota’s brand promise of being Built for a Better World and it’s fantastic to see the calibre of artworks that come through, along with the creative ideas on what a dream car could look like. Through this contest we’re encouraging young people of Ireland to imagine how they can build a better future for everyone and we’re looking forward to seeing their creativity and inventiveness shine through.”
