Dar es Salaam, October 2024
The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest was established in 2004, and since then 8.7 million entries have been received from 144 countries and regions. As is stated in our online call for participants for this year’s competition:
“With the mission to “Produce Happiness for All,” Toyota is committed to create a society where people can dream of a brighter future and believes in the power of creativity as the driving force. Toyota holds this contest with the hope that children, who lead the future, will unleash their creativity and enjoy having a dream.”
Imagination is a driver of innovation. At Toyota Tanzania, we know that creativity is important in moving us towards a better future. This year we are happy to celebrate Neev Chohan, won the Best Finalist, 8-to-11 year-old category in the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest of 2024 with his piece titled ‘Toyota Dad’s Magic Hug Car.’
Neev is one of nine Tanzanian children who won the local competition. We were pleased to award them vouchers for educational gifts. Their pieces were sent on to Japan where a panel of judges reviewed submissions from all over the world. This year, Neev’s piece caught the imagination of the judges. We are very happy for Neev and his family, and proud that he put Tanzania on the map.
The local Toyota Dream Car Art Competition 2025 will be open for submissions on Friday 1st November, 2025 and will close on Friday 7th February, 2026.
