Digital Ehon Award Judging Panel

Digital Ehon Award Judging Panel. This year, entries were submitted from a record 34 countries.
I suppose one of the standout features this year is the abundance of STEM content.
The app-linked picture book that Chairman Tsuguhiko Kadokawa is holding is “My Cell and I,” an entry from Israel that won the Runner-up Grand Prize at last year’s awards.
Created by students, this work was still in the demo stage during last year’s judging process, but after raising funds through crowdfunding, it was published as a book and sent to us from Israel.
Connecting with the world through Digital Ehon! How wonderful (*^^*)
The results will be announced at the Workshop Collection event in March! We’ll even have a special guest that day! Stay tuned~.
