Indus Motor Company (IMC), in collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation, proudly hosted the Grand Dream Car Art Contest event, marking a triumphant return after a five-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This global initiative, launched by Toyota in 2004, aims to encourage creativity and imagination in children aged 15 years and below by providing them a platform to dream big and express their visions of the future through art.
This year’s contest witnessed an overwhelming response with 25,324 entries collected from across Pakistan, engaging 1,118 schools, including 183 government institutions, across 29 cities spanning from Quetta to Kashmir.

Additionally, 2 artworks received the Jury Choice Award, while 3 entries were recognized with the “Waku Doki” (heart-pumping excitement) award, selected by the female engineers of IMC. The “CEO Choice Award” was presented to 3 outstanding artworks by Mr. Ali Asghar Jamali, CEO of Indus Motor Company.
