Platinum Grand Prize Judging Panel

The Platinum Grand Prize Judging Panel. Even though there had been debate about whether the event should even take place, the fact that we received more entries than usual is the best outcome. Plus, there were some entries that were made possible precisely because of the timing!

I hear that this year's final judging session will be streamed live on YouTube and open to the public. Every year, the presentations from every region are outstanding, so I’m really glad they’re making them available to a wider audience—it’s something I’ve always hoped they would do.

The business card of Hiroya Masuda, Chair of the Platinum Grand Prize Organizing Committee, now lists him as President and Representative Executive Officer of Japan Post ^^
