2019 ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL 20 NOVEMBER
JETAA Wellington’s annual Japan Photo Contest is back for another year! The contest is open to any amateur photographers who have been to Japan.
Since 2014, we have organised a community photo contest for people to show off their best photos of Japan. The best entries are displayed in the Japan Information & Cultural Centre (JICC) and voted on by the public. At the end, we host a small awards ceremony with food and drinks to announce the winners and present prizes.
You can check out last year’s finalists here.
This year’s categories are:
- Pop Culture

(note: the Postcards category is only for current JET Programme participants; Pop Culture, Places,Pets are open to anyone and everyone!)
