Best Prize

『“I am here to share happiness with your beloved friends,”Ehime mikan.』

Country : Indonesia 　　　　Residence : Matsuyama City

Comment: Japanese, Hinako on the left, Indonesian, Lady on the right, and Indonesian, Galih in the middle.

 

Judge's comment

The main character is "Mikan or Mandarin Orange", which symbolizes Ehime, and the hijab worn by the woman on the right is an accent that represents internationalization, and the composition is also good.

The atmosphere of enjoying Ehime is well expressed, and Ehime's culture, local love, multicultural coexistence, etc. are condensed and arranged in a well-balanced manner.

Excellence Prize

"Tsubayama Drum Dance"

Country : Japan 　　　　　Residence : Matsuyama City

　　　　　Comment: Niyodogawa Town "Tsubayama Drum Dance".
　　　　　　　　　　It is a festival to comfort the spirits of the Heike warlords and aristocrats.
　　　　　　　　　　A man from Scotland was participating in the festival, so I took a picture of him.

 

Judge's comment

In the bamboo grove where the silence and the smell of green can be felt, the appearance of a male foreigner holding a Japanese drum with a smile says that he is enjoying contact with Japanese culture.

The contrast between static (bamboo grove) and dynamic (festival) is good.

“We can communicate without words! ”

Country : Japan 　　　　　Residence : Matsuyama City

Comment: Exchange beyond the words of children (a child of an ethnic minority in the neighborhood
　　and my eldest daughter)during the assignment by JOCS (NGO) activity to Bangladesh.

 

Judge's comment

An excellent work that instantly captures a scene of pure international exchange unique to children through soap bubble play.

It seems that we can hear the conversation in their hearts, and it makes us imagine a heartwarming story after the soap bubbles were inflated.
