Empowering Youth, Inspiring Creativity, and Supporting Future Champions
Al Abdulghani Motors, the authorised distributor of Toyota in Qatar, proudly hosted the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest Award Ceremony at its state-of-the-art showroom in Lusail. The event marked the culmination of the 18th edition of the global art competition, celebrating the imagination, creativity, and dreams of Qatar’s young artists.
The ceremony brought together over 500 participants from more than 200 schools across Qatar, along with their families, educators, and special guests, including celebrated Qatari athletes Ali Arshid and Cherif Younousse. The event underscored Al Abdulghani Motors’ ongoing commitment to nurturing local talent, promoting artistic expression, and inspiring the next generation of dreamers.
A Canvas of Innovation and Hope
The theme of the contest invited children to envision their “Dream Car”—a vehicle capable of making the world a better place. Submissions ranged from eco-friendly innovations and futuristic vehicles to designs that symbolised unity, compassion, and environmental consciousness. The contest was divided into three age categories:
- Under 7 years
- 8 to 11 years
- 12 to 15 years
Three winners were chosen from each category and were recognised with certificates and exciting prizes during the event. Their artworks will now represent Qatar in the World Contest in Japan, where winners may receive prestigious accolades from Toyota Motor Corporation.
Additionally, 25 finalists were acknowledged for their creativity, and three students were recognised in a special online voting competition hosted by Al Abdulghani Motors, giving the community a chance to support their favourite young artists.
Inspiring the Next Generation with Qatari Champions
Adding to the excitement, the event welcomed two of Qatar’s inspiring sports figures:
- Ali Arshid – A proud member of the Global Team Toyota Athletes (GTTA) program
- Cherif Younousse – Qatar’s beach volleyball star and brand ambassador
The athletes engaged with students, shared stories of perseverance and discipline, and emphasised the importance of dreaming big—values that align with the spirit of the Dream Car Art Contest and Toyota’s global mission.
A Legacy of Creativity and Social Responsibility
Since its launch in 2004, the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest has inspired more than 9.4 million children from 144 countries. In Qatar, Al Abdulghani Motors continues to champion this initiative as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. The contest not only celebrates creativity but also aligns with the company’s broader goals of empowering youth, promoting innovation, and achieving excellence in art, academics, and athletics.
Driving the Future with Imagination
The 18th edition of the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest reaffirmed Al Abdulghani Motors’ belief in the power of youth and the importance of creative thinking in shaping a brighter tomorrow. By providing young talents with a global stage, the company remains dedicated to driving dreams forward and fueling a culture of imagination, passion, and positive change.
