The 19th Annual Toyota Dream Car Art Contest

The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest began 15 years ago and today is one of the largest art contests in the world. Every year Toyota receives millions of submissions from 90 countries. Youth from Guam and the CNMI participate every year with support from their parents and teachers.

Skyota- a flying car beyond the road
My three dreams are to become a police officer, a pilot, and a astronaut. In the future, I believe a car could exist that embraces all three! A special police car called “skyota” would race between the stars and nations instead of lanes. No criminal could escape! But becoming a police officer might require pursuing more tests than now… please make “skyota” for me in the future.
