【About the Creators Audition】

A traditional event by Digital Hollywood, held over 130 times cumulatively in Tokyo and Osaka as a recruitment and matching platform. Outstanding student works are selected and presented to company representatives. After the presentations, a networking reception allows direct conversations with students, enabling companies to discuss hiring, contract work, and scout promising candidates.

For the 'STUDIO Creators Audition in Shibuya – The Day Your Work Connects to Your Desired Work Style', building on the traditional format, we will incorporate the perspective of 'diverse work styles' and implement the following initiatives:

1. Dual-Track Participation Design for 'Full-Time Employment' and 'Contract Work' Seekers

We will establish separate tracks: 'Full-Time Employment Track' and 'Contract Work Track', based on participants’ preferred work styles.

This design supports diverse career aspirations by providing equal opportunities for those seeking full-time corporate roles and those aiming to work as freelancers or contractors.

2. Presentations That Convey Not Just Work, But Personality and Work Ethos

In addition to portfolio introductions, students will present their work philosophy, creative approach, and desired work styles. This format aims to help companies understand not only skills but also the 'person behind the work' and compatibility.

3. Mutual Understanding Through Company Short Pitches

Before the networking session, participating companies will deliver short pitches.

By directly communicating their business activities and talent needs, companies create opportunities for students to assess whether they align with their desired work styles.

This also serves as an opportunity for companies to learn about each other’s initiatives.

4. Natural Matching Through Networking and Business Card Exchange

After the presentations, a networking session will be held with companies, students, and alumni.

By sharing personalities and values beyond what’s visible in portfolios, the event fosters connections leading to hiring, contract work, and corporate collaborations.

5. Homecoming Day

We will host a 'Crio Homecoming Day' where past Creators Audition participants gather to share their post-graduation careers and work styles.

This promotes alumni community building and information exchange, while offering current participants insight into real-life career paths after graduation.
