He said, “Congratulations to the winners and all the talented students who demonstrated a great deal of creativity and artistic abilities. We promise to stand by them, offer our support in order to develop their talents and encourage them by providing them with the opportunities to present their ideas, dreams and creations to the world. This is at the very heart of our strategy at Al-Markazia, and an essential part of our corporate social responsibility program. It reinforces our commitment to the Jordanian community and our dedication to continue to support the younger generations. ” “Draw your dream car”, which was launched by Toyota Motors Corporation in 2004, constitutes an art festival for children through which they get to present artworks that embody the car of the future or the car of their dreams. Their wide imaginations inspire fantastic hand drawn art. Al-Markazia is keen on having the children of the Kingdom participate in this international competition by organizing a local version, and helping the winners to compete in the final stage of the global contest. The Global contest was launched in September 2015, while Al-Markazia launched a local copy on the third of January in 2016. The Jordanian talents participating were given a deadline for submitting their drawings, through which they should showcase their talents and creativity. The nine winners will participate in the finals which will be held in Japan during the month of August.     -End-   About Al-Markazia: Al-Markazia is the sole distributor of Toyota, Lexus and Hino trucks in Jordan.
