ALSAYER Group Honors 18th Toyota Dream Car Art Winners
ALSAYER Group is proud to award and announce the conclusion of the 18th Toyota Dream Car Contest (TDCAC). Mohamed Naser Al Sayer & Sons Est. Co. W.L.L. (MNSS) and Group Corporate Excellence Department hosted an award ceremony at ALSAYER Multi-Purpose Hall in Ardiya in front of an audience consisting of ALSAYER management, winners, teachers, parents, and community members.
This year’s drawing competition promoted the Go Digital initiative by incorporating QR Codes, allowing participants to conveniently download the TDCAC Application Forms, Terms & Conditions, and the best drawing Guidelines. Participants were encouraged to submit their artwork either in person at Toyota Showrooms or electronically to the CE-CSR email. This process supported children between the ages of 4 to 15 to submit around 378 wonderful drawings that showcased their dreams filled with imagination and creativity.
Their creative designs tackle social and emotional issues that are intertwined for the benefit of humans, animals, and the Earth. They generate unique and amazing scientific ideas to create sustainable vehicles that confront challenges such as zero carbon emissions, eliminate plastic pollution, and introduce innovation in space travel to connect with others who share a passion for imagination! Through these works, the children’s art showcases the possibilities of combining their artistic talents with practical solutions that could realistically be achieved in the future to enhance our communities and the planet.
ALSAYER Group management showed their appreciation to the winners by distributing rewards. They also thanked the teachers and parents for cultivating such an incredible pool of talent and instilling creativity as a core attribute in their minds. The ceremony was attended by Mr. Martin Aherne Senior Business Director Toyota Sales, Eng. Nehad Mohammad AlHaj Ali Group Manager of the Corporate Excellence Department and Shibu Mohamed CSR Manager from ALSAYER Group. Attendees from the jury council included Visual Artist Hanoof Al Marjan, Writer and Artist Mahmoud Shaker, and Art Educator, Amal Haider.
