TOYOTO Ghana has rewarded 15 students who emerged winners of its annual Toyota dream car contest in Accra.
The contest which was held in three categories—under 10 years, 10 to 12 years and 13 to 15 years—saw five winners emerging from each category.
Winners of each category received cash prizes, Toyota branded books, reading books, and drawing materials, with other contestants receiving educational materials for their effort.
According to the Managing Director of Toyota Ghana, Mr Takahiko Takabayashi, the contest which has been held since 2004 by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) is intended to give children the opportunity to develop their interest in cars through the drawing of pictures of their “dream cars.”
He added that the contest “is also to enhance the Toyota brand image and create a bond between Toyota and kids.”
He said the winning drawings would be sent to Japan to compete with other drawings by children from all over the world and was hopeful that at least one of the winners would be selected to represent Ghana at the World Contest in Japan.
He added that “this is the second time Ghana has been invited to join this global initiative by TMC. The first time, participation was limited but this time, we opened it to all Ghanaian children irrespective of their affiliation with Toyota.”
“We got a total of 117 entries as compared to just 19 last year. Since this is an annual project, I believe the entries will increase every year,” he added.
