This was the first time the Gafu show opened up a separate competition for the rest of the world to enter
All the entry’s were on one huge wall next to the main exhibits, with the blown up picture and name card. Three winners were selected.
This was the awarded for the whole composition.
This was my entry.
This was all the other entry’s.
Well done to all the entry’s for braving the scrutiny of the Japanese public, whenever I saw the wall it always had viewers. Thank you to the organisers for giving the whole world the chance to participate in the finest shohin show in the world.
