LINK." 

The word "divided" has come to abound in many places as the world becomes more and more divided on politics, economics, poverty, energy issues, and more. 

However, people are creatures that need to be connected, and now is the time when it is important to connect and link various things. People are connected, countries are connected, issues are connected, and the future and happiness are connected. The problems and issues that are occurring around the world are not limited to a particular country, but are something that all people should think about on a global scale and "synchronize" with each other, transcending national borders and race. 

The theme of this year's production, "LINK," "connects" and "synchronizes" various things with the creator's sense of style, from small "connections" around us to things for the future. 

The competition is expected to connect all areas such as "country," "era," "race," "culture," "technology," "expression," "society," "issues," "future," and "potential," as well as works of diversity and value in terms of visual expression. 

Please "LINK" to the world and the hearts of the audience with your projection mapping expressions.
