[Call for Entries] Platinum Grand Prize

The Platinum Grand Prize aims to realize a “Platinum Society” by recognizing and publicizing examples of initiatives that seek to solve regional challenges through the creation of new industries and innovative solutions. Applications are now being accepted.

Starting this fiscal year, the "Grand Prize" and "Individual Theme Awards" have been newly established.

"This time, we have chosen 'Coexisting with Population Decline' as our theme. Even as the arrival of a society with a declining population becomes inevitable,

"Initiatives aimed at revitalizing local communities and improving people's well-being are eligible for this award."

I'll be serving as a judge again this year.
