The battle to find mum in the sea of silver, white, grey and off-white cars outside school at hometime just got a bit easier for one kid.

Elia Inglis, a 6-year-old from Greenhithe Primary, managed to not only win a Citroen Grand Picasso for her parents to drive her around in for a month by drawing a picture of her family - the Grand Picasso is wrapped in her artwork.

Those who are making do with passe stick figure families do have some hope - Citroen boss Simon Rose says the art competition will be run at other schools throughout New Zealand.
