The 19th Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is now accepting entries.

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has proudly announced the return of the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest (DCAC) for its 19th global edition. This annual initiative invites children across Malaysia to imagine, design, and bring to life their vision of future mobility—specifically, cars that make the world better, safer, and more inclusive for everyone.

Since 2004, the global contest has inspired nearly 9.4 million children across 144 countries and regions, providing a platform for ideas that go beyond transportation to envision cars that protect the environment and connect people.

Encouraging Bold Ideas for ‘Mobility for All’

The DCAC encourages young minds to dream fearlessly and think creatively, turning imagination into meaningful ideas that could drive positive change. UMWT believes that the power to build a better tomorrow begins with the creativity of today’s children.
