Japan Media Arts Festival
Japan Media Arts Festival Executive Committee (Agency for Cultural Affairs / The National Art Center, Tokyo / CG-ARTS) has selected 24 award-winning works, one Special Achievement Prize winner, and one Memorial Achievement Prize winner this year. Those works were chosen from among 2,592 entries in Art, Entertainment, Animation and Manga Divisions from 54 countries and regions in the world. Media Arts is a field that is constantly changing along with evolvement of technology and the media, and society as a whole. The award-winning works of this year explore related themes such as “the relationship between humans and nature,” “humanity throughout the course of history,” and “media and the body” on a grand scale.
Special Achievement Prize was awarded to Shigeru Miyamoto, the brains behind immortal videogame classics like « Super Mario Brothers » and « The Legend of Zelda ».
