PROGRAM

The 19 finalists for the 10th year of the “1 Minute Projection Mapping Competition,” one of the world's largest international projection mapping competitions, have been selected.
This year we received 241 entries from 55 countries and regions (the most ever). Of these, 19 finalist works will be projected in the Seitoku Memorial Picture Gallery in Meiji Jingu Gaien. The Grand Prix and other prizes will be awarded by a panel of judges comprised of experts from Japan and abroad.
Festival of Light Area
The “Festival of Light,” a fusion of light, art, and music, will be held at the Meiji Jingu Gaien General Baseball Stadium Softball Stadium, where light art and advanced entertainment will be arranged to take visitors on a journey through an extraordinary world of light. Hiroyoshi Uruma is the overall director of the festival, and other leading Japanese creators have also gathered.
Under the concept of “Circle of Life,” a light journey through the three worlds of land, sea, and air will be staged. Bold use of the venue will create an immersive entertainment space that combines digital sound art using light and music with real performances. Newly added this year is an eating and drinking area where visitors can enjoy food and drinks while watching the public viewing of the International Projection Mapping Competition.
