Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is invited the 18th Toyota Dream Car Art Contest (TDCAC), an annual contest that invites young artists to unleash their creativity and reimagine the future of mobility on a unique and inspiring platform.
The contest that invites children to reimagine the future of mobility by drawing their dream cars is open to children across India from January 6 to January 31, 2025.
The TDCAC is structured as both a National Contest and a Global Contest:
The National Contest identifies the top 9 winners across 3 categories:
Category 1: 7 years old or under
Category 2: 8–11 years old
Category 3: 12–15 years old
The top nine artworks will advance to the Global Contest which will be held after April 2025.
Children have to create artworks under the theme “Your Dream Car,” which encourages innovative thinking and unrestricted creativity. The top 9 winners, comprising 3 from each category, will be awarded framed certificates and digital gift vouchers, along with the honour of representing India at the Global Contest. In addition, 18 finalists will receive digital certificates and gift vouchers in recognition of their creative contributions.
Vice President of Toyota Kirloskar Motor Varinder Kumar Wadhwa said, “At Toyota Kirloskar Motor, we take pride in nurturing young talent and fostering creativity among children. The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is more than an art competition—it’s a platform that empowers young minds to dream big and envision a future fueled by innovation. Over the years, we’ve been inspired by the extraordinary creativity and perspectives of these young artists, who beautifully reimagine the future through their artwork. This global contest celebrates their imagination and supports their journey toward turning aspirations into reality. As we unveil the 18th edition, we look forward to engaging with children across India and bringing their incredible talent to the global stage.”
Over the years, the competition has gained tremendous participation with the 16th and 17th editions witnessing notable global accolades for Indian participants. In 2024, during the 17th edition of TDCAC, Peruri Lakshmi Sahasra from Visakhapatnam earned the prestigious Best Finalist Award at the Global Contest, cementing India’s place in this international celebration of creativity.
The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is a global initiative open to children aged 15 and under. Launched in 2004, this contest provides young minds across the world with a platform to explore their creativity, develop an interest in automobiles, and embrace the joy and significance of dreaming big. National contests are held in participating countries, with winning entries advancing to Japan for evaluation in the prestigious World Contest.
