The 10th "Draw Your Dreams of the Ocean on a Postcard" Contest

Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC; Mr. Yasuhiro Kato, President) will hold the 10th annual “Draw Your Dreams of the Ocean on a Postcard” contest for elementary school children across the country.

JAMSTEC has been providing educational activities to public people and popularizing knowledge about the ocean. As part of such longtime contribution to society, we hope this contest, in which children draw pictures of their yearnings or dreams of the ocean, will inspire children’s interest in the ocean and be a motive to learn more about the ocean in school.

We will invite children’s art works in two categories, hand drawing art and computer graphic (CG) art.

Application period is from November 30, 2007 to January 31, 2008. Pictures including computer graphics should be on a postcard or a postcard-sized paper. Electric data will not be accepted.
