This one’s for the kids.

Toyota is asking children aged 15 and under to draw a car of the future that can help make the world a better place. There’s a chance to win a prize worth $5,000 (U.S.)

The 2024 Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is on now and closes Jan. 12, 2024.

There are three age categories in the contest. They are:

• Under 8
• 8 to 11
• 12 to 15

Three finalists will be chosen from each of the three age categories for a total of nine Canadian finalists. Each Canadian finalist will receive a $250 KiwiCo gift card. Canadian finalists will also be entered into the global contest hosted by Toyota Motor Corporation. There are three grand prizes valued at $5,000 (U.S.) in the global contest.

Submissions can be created using any hand-drawn medium – such as paint, markers, and crayons.

Contest organizers say the following about the contest:

“Children are encouraged to explain the innovative ideas they’ve expressed with their artwork. Does it help save our oceans or environment? Does it help people move from one place to another? Does it use a new renewable source of energy? Participants will need to tell the judges what they’ve drawn, what it does and why it matters.”
