Hiroshima Animation Festival 2014

Hello!
This is Mizzy from Hana Hostel in Hiroshima!

My favorite season, summer is finally here! Yay!
Summer makes me feel like something fun will happen and excites me !

We have lots of events in summer such as Fireworks and summer festivals.
But today, I am going to introduce an interesting event to you.

Have you ever heard of Hiroshima Animation Festival?
This is an annual event that is held in August in Hiroshima.

This Event was established under the spirit of “Peace and Love” and to provide opportunities of the international cross-cultural exchanges throughout the animation art.
International Selection Committee will choose competition titles by previewing all entries submitted from around the world.
Competition will be held during the festival, and winning prizes will be announced and presented on the final day.
One of the prize called Audience Prize will be chosen by votes of audience.
In this program, internationally renowned animation masters and young promising animators will be competing each others equally, and audience will enjoy their high quality works with competition directors attending from all over the world.

This year, it will be held from August 21st to the 25th, and celebrating its 30th anniversary.

No matter if you like animation or not, I think it worths attending to this event.
Because you may meet many people from all over the world and may share your thoughts with them.
Listen to others and accept them can be the very first step of the Peaceful world! :D
