Japan Parade Art Contest 2024 (New York City) – Call For Artists

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] Japan Day announces a call for artists for the Japan Parade Art Contest 2024.

The Japan Parade Art Contest began in 2012 as the Japan Day Art Contest, when the public was first invited to submit illustrations for official posters, flyers, and programs. The contest was such a success, resulting in so many splendid entries and yielding such wonderful winning artwork, that the art contest became an annual part of the Japan Day event. This year marks the 12th annual Art Contest and the third Japan Parade Art Contest.
