◇Fishing (BlueBlue Co., Ltd.)

-Theme Purpose-

Fishing is not just about catching fish. It's a game where you think and imagine in your head, "Where could they be?" "What bait would they eat?" "What kind of fish will bite?" and enjoy the excitement and anticipation of a future where you can catch fish. We want to convey the fun of such "fishing."

-What We Expect in Your Work-

Please design a poster that makes many people think, "Fishing looks fun!"

◇Introduce the "Treasures" of Your Town *Organizer's Theme

What "treasures" are there in the town where you live? The park you walk through every day, beautiful scenery, delicious food, or perhaps the lively people of the town? Please create a poster that showcases your town's pride, making people around the world, not just in Japan, excited to visit, and tell us about the "treasures of your town" as you envision them.
