Fest:Japan Media Arts Festival

The Agency for Cultural Affairs has been organizing the Japan Media Arts Festival annually since 1997, with the aim of promoting the creation and development of media arts (comics, animation, game and media art.) The Japan Media Arts Festival now accepts entries worldwide and awards prizes for outstanding creative works in four divisions, Art, Animation, Entertainment and Manga as well as providing opportunities to introduce these works, specifically through the prizes announcements, the Awards Ceremony, and the Exhibition of Award-Winning Works.
