Two sisters – Grace and Lynn Sun
– were among last year's U.S. Winners of the Toyota Dream Car
USA Art Contest. Each girl each
took an artistic approach to their drawings unique to their
interests, guided by contrasting realms and even using different
medium. "Because I love to read fantasy and fiction stories,
my dream car design included imaginary objects and landscapes,"
said nine-year-old Grace, an aspiring writer and illustrator who
drew The Jellyfish Car. In comparison, eleven-year-old Lynn
who drew The Eco Car shared that her "designs are
inspired by many everyday objects – mainly, any object with unique
features." Her dream career is to be a designer someday.
Each year, the Toyota Dream Car USA Art Contest sends out a call for artwork
submissions, which are received and entered into one of three
categories – Category 1 (4-7 years); Category 2 (8-11 years); and
Category 3 (12-15 years). Judging takes place within each age group
to choose the best in terms of uniqueness of concept, artistry of
concept, and execution of concept.
Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan held the first worldwide contest in
2004. Nearly 90 countries now host their own national contests
under the same rules but with varying artwork submission periods.
