Furthermore, the International TAKIFUJI Art Award also awards the Grand Prize (for domestic students) and the International Grand Prize (for overseas students) to particularly outstanding recipients among prize for excellence.

This year, we plan to hold an award ceremony in Tokyo and a workshop tour at the “CREARE Atami-Yugawara Studio,” inviting students and faculty members from Japanese universities, as well as the International Grand Prix winner from overseas. The winners from Japan and overseas will be presented with scholarships and certificates by TAKI Hisao, the director-general of Japan Traffic Culture Association.
