The two winners will next week join other world winners in Japan for an honorary award presentation event at the Toyota Motor Corporation [TMC] headquarters in Japan.
The Toyota Dream Car Art contest is born of Toyota Motor Corporation resolve to cultivate creativity and innovation among children.
The global contest, which is open to children aged between 3- 15 years, originated from Japan in 2004, and has since been expanded from Asia to include North, Central, and South America; Europe; Oceania; Middle East; and Africa.
The celebrated contest dubbed "Your Dream—The Car of the Future" aims to create an opportunity for children—through drawing pictures of their "dream cars" —to develop their interest in cars and further nurture their dream to reality.
The two Kenyan finalists were recently hosted at the Toyota Kenya head office with their guardians to receive their certificates of participation from the Naoki Takeuchi Managing Director, Toyota Kenya.
Speaking at the event, Mr Naoki Takeuchi applauded the finalists for participating in the unique competition "it is our honour at Toyota to showcase as many dream cars as possible from Kenya to the world. It is in pursuant of our commitment to cultivate creativity and innovation among our children that Toyota crafted the "Dream Car" art contest. To have two children represent us in Japan not only showcases our nation's talent but goes to prop up Toyota's efforts in nurturing tomorrow's generation"
The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is held annually all over the world cutting across 3 different age categories.
