Showcasing Creative Talent

In this edition, entries are being unveiled on various platforms, providing a glimpse into the dazzling talent that the creative community has to offer. The project highlights important themes related to 'Toyota' and 'mobility' encouraging creators to express their interpretations through original footage and music provided free of charge. An exciting aspect of this project is the inclusion of new footage featuring Toyota's production factories, which are said to be the heart of the company’s automotive creation process.

The creators have been given more than 300 new shots as well as 17 songs from the upcoming musical group STARGLOW, who contributed additional material to the project. Commentaries from participating artists exude excitement and passion supporting the creativity and hard work that will culminate in unique video pieces. Notably, the best works will be showcased prominently at the TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO during halftime of Alvark Tokyo games for an entire month!

The Judging Process and Prizes

The evaluation of the submitted works will be conducted by three esteemed judges, each having served as directors for Toyota commercials, along with employees from Toyota's Motomachi factory. The grand prize-winner will earn not only fame but also be featured on Toyota's official social media channels and the Toyota Times news for an in-depth interview.

For a sneak peek at these incredible creations, visitors can view select entries on the TOYOTA FACTORY HEROES DIRECTORSCUT YouTube official channel. Expect to witness a wide array of creative expressions that capture the essence of teamwork and drive behind each car manufactured at Toyota.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Participating artists hail from diverse backgrounds, and their contributions reflect a blend of creativity influenced by the project’s core theme.
