The Japan Media Arts Festival is a comprehensive festival of "Media Arts" ("Media Geijutsu" in Japanese) that recognizes outstanding works in its four divisions: Art, Entertainment, Animation, and Manga. The festival has awarded prizes to significant, creative works of artistic value since its establishment in 1997, and through its annual Exhibition of Award-winning Works, it has offered the public an opportunity to directly appreciate these celebrated works, and also to participate in related events such as symposia and artists' lectures.

Last year, the 21st Festival received 4,192 entries from 98 countries and regions around the world. Over the years, the festival has earned international recognition as one of the most prominent showcases in the field of "Media Arts" surveying the latest artistic expressions that continue to diversify in today's ever-changing world.

Other outstanding works will be chosen by the jury as Jury Selections.
