This international competition is not only one of the industry’s leading contest events, but also a creative venue for top creators from around the world and Japan.

In 2024, we are again calling for video works from creators around the world!
For details, please see below.
【 The 12th Competition Theme 】
“Mirror”
A mirror reflecting various things is a wonderful and mysterious existence. What can be seen is a real image but also a virtual one, giving you the feeling of another dimension.
Or, like a mirror in a fairy tale, it might reflect the inner and wishes of the people looking at it. Is what we are facing the truth, or is it the future or our distorted wishes? “Mirrors” cannot help but stir up a variety of imaginations, and while they can be found easily in everyday life, as a creator aren’t they an attractive material?
In Japanese, it is said a mirror “reflects the heart and times”, or “a mirror of…” to describe a person who can be a role model.
Through the physical charms and effects of mirrors, such as kaleidoscopes and reflective water for example, as well as the world of images projected in the word “mirror”, please expand your imagination and express your “Mirror” as a “projection mapping video” for projection onto a Memorial Picture Gallery.
