Students ages 15 and younger are eligible to enter the 2015 Dream Car Art Contest being staged by Toyota Hawaii.
Entrants are encouraged to create dream-car-themed art that reflects three core concepts by Toyota Motor Corp.: conservation, or environmentally friendly cars; cars that promote world peace; and concept cars that encourage helping others.
Students will compete in three age categories and the winner of each category will receive an iPad Mini, with second- and third-place winners earning $100 cash.
"Last year, we received more than 500 entries from local students, and two young artists’ award-winning drawings were selected for the world contest," said Glenn Inouye, Toyota Hawaii senior vice president. The company hopes to receive 1,000 entries this time.
Contest entrants Emma Thain and Teah Laupapa each won a trip to Japan last year for the world finals.
Last year’s entries will be displayed at Kahala Mall through Dec. 31 and at the Honolulu Academy of Arts Academy Art Center at Linekona from Jan. 5 through 18.
Entry forms and official rules are posted online at toyotahawaii.com and are available at all Toyota Hawaii dealerships.
For more information, call (808) 564-1100.
Entries are due by Jan. 31.
