          Representing autumn in the city is the tremendous 
            Nagoya Festival. To commemorate the festival (this year held concurrently 
            with the opening of the Congress) there was a call for illustrations 
            for the festival poster.  
            From 475 entries, jurors selected one to receive the Grand Prix, two 
            for Excellence Prizes, 10 as prize-winning pieces and 42 as selected 
            works. Here we introduce all of these, which will also be shown this 
            October in an exhibition, "Award Works from the Illustration 
            Competition for the Poster of Nagoya Festival". The Grand Prix 
            winner graces the 49th Nagoya Festival poster and will also be applied 
            in the city's tourism program.  |

          -A comment from the winner 
            I was really happy to find out that I had won. I never imagined I 
            would receive such an important prize. I feel it was worthwhile to 
            have worked so hard on it. If the poster inspires just one more person 
            to come and see our festival, I will be very pleased. (Asuka Suzuki) |
