This year marks the 16th edition of the contest. We invite elementary school students to create artwork about nature as we ask them to consider the theme of “My favorite place with lots of nature”.
Following careful consideration, submitted artwork will be selected for the following prizes: the Gold Prize, the Environment Minister’s Prize, the Silver Prize, the Bronze Prize, the NICKER COLOUR Prize, Honorable Mention, and the Organization Award. Winners will receive prizes that include a trip to Yakushima, a Natural World Heritage site.*1 In addition, all applicants will also receive an original handkerchief.
