3rd Kyoto University Scenic Photo Contest Award Ceremony (October 30, 2012)

The award ceremony for the 3rd Kyoto University Scenic Photo Contest was held as part of the 7th Kyoto University Homecoming Day events.

The contest invited entries from Kyoto University's alumni, former and present staff members, and students. The theme was "Kyoto University is Hot," in which photos were supposed to capture a scene depicting a hot "summer," hot "moment of education or research," "hot Kyoto University," or other scenes of Kyoto University that conjure up the image of something "hot." From a total of fifty-eight entries, judges selected one for the Grand Prix, three for the Excellence Award, six for other prizes, and one for the Judges Award. At the award ceremony, Executive Vice-President Hidetoshi Kotera presented the winners of the Grand Prix and Excellence Awards with commemorative prizes.

The eleven prize-winning photos, including the Grand Prix photo, will be exhibited at the University Lounge on the first floor of the Clock Tower Centennial Hall from November 3 (Saturday) to November 25 (Sunday), and then at our Tokyo Office from mid-December through mid-February in 2013.
