Theming

Theme of the Submitted Work: “Learning in Kyoto, Blending in with Kyoto”
We solicited works that reflect a wide range of images of studying in Kyoto (predecessors, traditions, culture, history, technology, universities), as well as the cityscape and interactions with people.

[Concrete Image Example]
(1) A video work that expresses Kyoto, the city of universities and students, revealed only through living (or sending off) student life in Kyoto.
(2) A video work expressing the “warmth of people” encountered during student life in Kyoto (such as interactions with local residents or scenes where you felt the unique hospitality of Kyoto).
(3) Edgy video works that can be shared with junior and senior high school students and shared on social media (making them want to visit Kyoto or go to Kyoto)
(4) Visual works that clearly represent Kyoto’s unique culture and impressive techniques (such as advanced technology and traditional crafts)
