Toyota Iraq has announced the conclusion of the national phase of the 19th Toyota Dream Car Art Contest. The submission period ran from 10 October 2025 until 1 March 2026, spanning across all regions of Iraq through Toyota Iraq’s authorized dealer network and official website. This was in addition to live activation events hosted at Toyota showrooms across 9 Iraqi cities. The competition aimed to provide children with a creative space to express their vision of the future car, turning their innovative ideas into drawings that reflect their imagination and ambition for a more innovative world.
The competition received 4,049 artworks from children across various governorates, divided into three age categories for participants up to 15 years old. The journey began with a simple question: "What does your dream car look like?" From this question, the children presented their unique visions for the future of mobility, showcasing drawings with innovative ideas for vehicles that serve humanity, simplify life, and meet tomorrow’s aspirations. Furthermore, Toyota Iraq organized 14 events across its dealer showrooms in 9 cities, which included drawing sessions and fun activities designed to provide participants with an inspiring experience tailored to their world. Following the conclusion of the submission period, all entries underwent a fair and transparent judging process, resulting in the selection of 9 national winners.
