It is cosponsored by the NPO
“CANVAS” that I am involved
with and “Digital Ehon”
corporation.
The grand prize in
production section went to “Nott Won’t Sleep” by Developlay of Netherlands, and
the second prize went to “Kiri Ehon (Cutout children’s book)” by Ms. Sansankan, a student from
Women’s College of Fine Arts.
We received 300 submissions
from 19 countries for this year. It is the largest digital children’s book award in the world that surpasses the digital section of
Bologna Children's Book Fair.
The “International Digital Children’s Book Fair,”
which was held at the same time received 200 submissions from
40 countries; this is also the largest digital children’s book exhibit in the world.
We received comments from
the judges.
◯Mr. Yuichi Kimura,
children’s book writer
I have written 600 children’s books, but I feel that digital children’s
books go beyond the limits of existing children’s
books. Children’s books until now had a protagonist,
and the story went along with the protagonist’s
thoughts. Digital children’s books are completed by the
participation of each reader. I hope the fun of everyone’s participation spreads.
◯Mr. Koji Ishikawa,
children’s book writer
The point of digital
children’s picture book is “Feel
good.” I visited this year’s
Bologna Children's Book Fair, looked around, and heard from people that they
wanted to publish works from Japan. Digital technology is helping to bring the
feelings of the world closer. Japanese children’s books
are no longer ethnic. I want to present digital children’s books to the world.
◯Mr. Tsuguhiko Kadokawa,
Chairman of KADOKAWA
There has been a drastic
change. Technology and contents are improving. Based on a digital invention
such as tablet, creativity became rich. In addition, it is also important that
creators of the works become happy economically. I want to create a
distribution system to achieve that.
◯Ms. Rika Kayama,
Psychiatrist
As a psychiatrist, I
thought creations were something that enticed the good things, which exist in
the mind, brain, and the body. However, as I interacted with digital children’s books, I felt that I could perceive like this, or find the sprout
of the story and spin it. It makes me feel the thoughts and emotions inside of
me expanding. “Creation”
expands the mind and the body. That is happiness, and I get worried how much it
will expand. I want to serve as the judge for the rest of my life.
Thank you for your
participation. We look forward to seeing you next time.
