MISTAKE
WINNERS LIST
THEME SUMMARY
We are living in a time where most creative tools are virtually perfect. Cameras, computers, phones, applications, navigation systems; no mistakes are allowed. Society teaches us to avoid mistakes, yet, they are essential to creative practice. Many artists have reached unexpected inspiration through machine errors or their own simple mistakes. Interpreting the theme “MISTAKE” through multiple perspectives, challenge yourself to develop images full of creativity. For our judge always full of playful and unique ideas, we look forward to seeing works that will make Erik Kessels gasp.
[Submission Period] from July 25 to September 26
[Application fee] 2,000JPY per entry
