JFM is now accepting submissions of Graphic Designs and Illustrations for SUKI with the theme “Japanese & Philippine Friendship in the next century.”
2023 saw the commemoration of 50 years of Japan and ASEAN friendship. In that span of time, many aspects of culture have been shared between Japan and the Philippines, in art, music, film, food, and many more. Through graphic design and illustration, we would like to see your vision of Japanese and Philippine friendship for the future years to come.
This contest is open to all Filipinos residing in the Philippines or Japan. Selected submissions will be published in SUKI, the official magazine of JFM, both on-line, in print, and social media. A token of P3,000.00 will also be given.
