The theme for this year is “Your Dream Car”. The contestants are encouraged to showcase their imagination and creativity by drawing their dream cars. The car could have wings, save children’s lives and even create world peace; no dream is too small for this competition, says Toyota. The competition will be judged by a panel which includes the TSAM’s creative team and creative directors from Johannesburg Advertising Agency, FCB.
The contest is held once a year, with Toyota affiliates around the world conducting a national competition in three age categories namely: younger than 8-year-old, 8 to 11-years-old and 12 to 15-years-old. The top five contestants win prizes at a national level and the top three winners in the national contest will be entered as representatives of their own country into the “World Contest,” to be held in Japan, May 2017.
