Digital Ehon Awards to Be Held

We’re holding the Digital Ehon Awards again this year. So, we’re opening submissions starting today! Last year, we received entries from 34 countries around the world, and the awards are growing into an increasingly international event with each passing year.

This year, in collaboration with Rough & Peace Mother—which plans to launch a new video streaming platform for children based on the concept of “play and learning”—we will continue to promote the broader value of “Digital Ehon.”
