Conservation-themed Design Exhibition of the Iwate Arts Festival Holds Award Ceremony in Morioka City (IBC Iwate Broadcasting)
Summary
An award ceremony was held in Morioka City for a design competition themed on environmental conservation, held annually by the Morioka Rotary Club as part of the Iwate Arts Festival art exhibition. On the 22nd, three winning works were recognized among entries on the theme of global environmental conservation, and the top gold prize went to Takashi Aoki of Morioka City for his work "Water City." His piece is based on a photograph of the local spring water "Seiryusui," which is used as domestic water, and was praised for its design: at first glance it looks like a tourism poster full of Morioka charm, but reading the text reveals an appeal for environmental conservation. Aoki's poster will be printed in about 380 copies and sent to elementary and junior high schools and libraries across the prefecture for display.
