Hyundai Motor Turkey brought children's dreams of vehicles that solve global problems to life with its first-ever drawing contest organized as part of April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day. With the theme "Vehicles That Make the World Better," the contest was open to all primary and secondary school students throughout Kocaeli, and to ensure equal opportunities, special education students were evaluated and awarded separately. Hyundai Motor Turkey offered children the opportunity to imagine sustainable, innovative transportation solutions that make a better world possible.
In the contest, which received over 100 applications, students who placed received 3D printed models of their own drawings and various awards. All students who participated in the award ceremony received participation certificates and surprise gifts.
The award ceremony held at Hyundai Motor Turkey's factory in İzmit was attended by Kocaeli Deputy Governor Aslan Avşarbey, İzmit District Governor Yusuf Ziya Çelikkaya, provincial protocol officials, Hyundai executives, teachers, families, and students. The drawings and 3D models displayed at the ceremony attracted great interest.
Hyundai Motor Turkey CEO YongJin Alex Kim said in his speech at the ceremony: "Being part of our children's imagination through this contest and seeing vehicles that make the world better through their eyes was a great source of inspiration for us. Each drawing contains hopeful ideas for a more livable world. I wholeheartedly congratulate all our children who participated in the contest."
Hyundai Motor Turkey views this project not just as a contest, but as a social responsibility initiative that provides children with space to dream, create, and make a difference. Hyundai Motor Turkey aims to organize the drawing contest nationwide with a broader scope starting from 2026 and to ensure more children are included in this creative process. Hyundai Motor Turkey continues to be not only an automotive brand but also a mobility solution partner that shapes the future with projects that contribute to the development of society.
