About the Programs
The Project to Support Emerging Media Arts Creators encourages and supports young creators, with the aim of improving the industry standards in media arts for the coming generations, as well as establishing a nurturing environment for the artists. Additionally, by promoting exchanges among domestic and international creators in the field of media arts, fostering domestic creators through these exchange opportunities, and widely disseminating their achievements, the project intends to contribute by prompting the improvement and development of Japan’s media arts standards.
