The Contest aims to provide an opportunity for children worldwide to understand Asian people's daily life through illustrated diaries or Enikki in Japanese.
The participants to this Contest are elementary school children aged 6-12 who are enrolled from both public and private schools. They will show to other Asian children their daily life and culture by means of a five-page illustrated diary. The Festa will feature the illustrated diaries of children from 24 countries throughout Asia.
The National Screening Committee in each participating country will send eight (8) "Enikki" from the submitted entries to be sent to Japan where an International Screening Committee will select the final winners. From each of the 24 countries, one entry will be awarded the Grand Prix Award, three (3) entries for the Organizers' Award and four (4) entries for the Excellence Award. The Grand Prix winner with one (1) guardian will be invited to join the Asia Study Tour in Kobe, Japan with all expenses free as part of the prize.
