After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the popular Tohoku University Photo Contest is back!

To be in the running for a great prize, all shutterbugs are encouraged to submit a photo in one or more of the following categories:

Category A: The New Normal and Life at Tohoku University
Category B: Tohoku University Views
Category C: SDGs / Going Green

Although this contest encourages participants to be as creative and imaginative as possible, please remember that the pandemic is on-going, and all infection prevention measures must be strictly adhered to during photo shoots. These include wearing a mask, washing your hands, avoiding the 3Cs and staying home if you feel unwell.

Additionally, participants should pay attention to local and national COVID-19 announcements, avoid areas that are experiencing high infection numbers; and do not enter any parts of campus that are closed due to infection preventative measures. Always check Tohoku University's official websites, including this one, for updates.
