Due June 12th, 2010 - There are many things in Japan that are unique and fascinating.

Such as Japanese old traditions, food, nature, architecture, literature, fashion, history, and so on.

It would be so wonderful, if these things were expressed on the internet, so that people from all over the world could see.

This idea is the origin of ‘my Japan’, a creative contest for students to express ‘Japan’.

We are looking for people’s original ideas and perspectives on Japan.
    * ‘Something that only you know’
    * ‘Somewhere that you think is the best’
    * ‘Something that even the Japanese don’t realize’

There are two categories organized in 'my Japan'

The first category is '30secs. films' - We ask for films that express Japan within 30secs. It does not matter whether it is an animation or computer graphics, etc.

The second category is ‘interactive applications’ - These include applications where the users can play interactively by clicking or typing. It does not matter whether it is a YouTube annotations, applications or Flash.
