About The Application

Q:Can I apply by mail?

A:We regret to inform you that applications are only accepted via web application.


Q:Is there a deadline for applications?

A:We are looking for the next generation of creators. We do not set a deadline for applications, so we are looking forward to hearing from creators.


Q:I am not the applicant, can I apply instead?

A:We apologize for any inconvenience. Please apply in person.


Q:Is there a cost to apply or be screened?

A:No fees will be charged for applications or judging. We do not charge any fees or participation fees for judging.
  ※Participants are responsible for their own transportation, lodging, and communication expenses for meetings.


Q:Are there any restrictions on the number of times I can apply?

A:We have introduced the "Re-challenge" system, and we do not consider the failure of a creator to demonstrate his or her ability on the first application as a sign of future competence.
  Therefore, you can challenge yourself as many times as you like in each 6-month period to overcome your weak areas or improve your strong areas.
  Please submit your work along with your new piece at that time.


Q:I am a minor. Can I still apply?

A:According to the law, a guardian's consent (seal and signature) is required for contracts with minors (e.g., copyright transfer agreements).
  The minor applicant must speak with their parents or guardians in advance and receive their permission before participating in the application process.
