This year’s judging process was scheduled to include two online judging and one actual judging session (with overseas judges coming to Japan), however, due to the spread of COVID-19, it is currently difficult to hold the judging sessions that include travel and gathering. Therefore, we have decided to change the judging method, frequency and schedule as follows.
