Subject: JapanFest 2008 Poster Contest and YouTube Video Contest for Students
The JapanFest 2008 organizing committee would like to take this opportunity to inform you of two events with which your students might like to be involved. The first is our 2nd Annual JapanFest Poster Contest. Prizes will be given in two categories: Grades K-6 and grades 7-12 and all participants will receive 2 free tickets to JapanFest, Sept 27-28 at Gwinnett Center! Posters should be an original drawing with the theme “Kimono and the Japanese People.” Please see the PDF flyer at http://www.atlanta.us.emb-japan.go.jp/PosterContest.pdf for more details.
Additionally, for the more technically inclined, we are hosting a YouTube Video Contest for all Georgia residents. The theme of the video must be" Japan and Me." The winner will receive a special prize and will have their video featured on the JapanFest website. All participants will receive 2 free tickets to JapanFest Sept 27-28 at Gwinnett Center! Details on this competition can be found at http://www.atlanta.us.emb-japan.go.jp/YouTubeContest.pdf.
The deadline for both contests is September 12, 2008.
