The official website for the Sumidaya Town 15 Character Contest is now live!

CANVAS is assisting with community development in Sumida Ward, and
as part of the “Sumida Kind City Declaration 15th Anniversary Project,” we’ve launched the official website for the “Sumida Kind City 15 Character Contest”
(sponsored by Sumida Ward; planned and operated by CANVAS).

The contest is open to elementary and junior high school students living in Sumida Ward. The goal of this project is to have participants create 15 characters, each representing one of the “15 Guidelines of the Sumida Kind City Declaration” proposed by Sumida Ward.
Whether you live in Sumida Ward, live nearby, or live elsewhere, we’d appreciate your support!
I’ll be serving as a judge myself.
I’m really looking forward to it because Rika Matsumoto, the voice actress who plays Satoshi, the protagonist of *Pokémon*, is also serving as a judge.
