Delight for sisters as they shine in Toyota Dream Car arts competition
TOYOTA Ireland is delighted to announce the finalists in the 2018 Toyota Dream Car Art Contest. Nine children from across Ireland were chosen from out of close to 1,000 entries for their exceptional artistic skills and inventive ideas, at an official awards ceremony in Haughton House, Dublin Zoo.
The Dream Car Art Contest reinforces Toyota’s commitment of being ‘Built for a Better World’ as entrants are encouraged to make the most of their innovative ideas and set their imagination free with creativity. The contest offers a platform for bright young minds across Ireland to imagine and share their dream car of the future.
The chosen nine Irish winners will now go forward to represent Ireland in Toyota’s worldwide art contest. If their artwork makes the final of the global competition they could win a grand prize of a once-in-a lifetime trip to Japan with their parents in August 2018.
