Voting is underway for Toyota Hawaii’s 2016 Dream Car Art Contest People’s Choice Competition.
Hundreds of student artists younger than age 15 years created original, hand-drawn illustrations of their “Dream Car” last month. Entries submitted to Toyota Hawaii by the Jan. 15 deadline were reviewed to ensure eligibility. All eligible artwork was automatically entered into the People’s Choice Competition where family, friends, and fans of the Toyota Hawaii Facebook page will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite entries through Feb. 28. The artwork with the most votes in each age category at the end of the competition will receive a prize, and be entered for final judging in the local competition.
On March 1, the artwork of nine local finalists will be selected by distinguished celebrity judges and will then be submitted to the Toyota Dream Car World Contest in Japan. Last year’s international contest attracted more than 600,000 entries from 70 countries and regions.
All winners from the local competition will have their artwork reviewed by a panel of judges at Toyota Motor Corporation. Gold, silver, bronze, best finalist and special awards will be given. Ten winners from each age category from around the world will be chosen to attend the World Contest Award Ceremony in Japan.
