This year marks the 115th anniversary of Tohoku University's founding and its 100th year as a comprehensive university. To celebrate, the Public Relations Department is looking to adopt a mascot to help promote the university's news and events.

All students, faculty and staff are invited to submit ideas and designs for an original character that best reflects the image, characteristics and values of Tohoku University.

To submit an entry, please read the guidelines carefully.

All entries must include:

• Full-colour design of the front and back of the character / mascot
• A name for the character with a brief explanation
• A simple profile of the character (mini-biography, hobbies etc.)
• Other useful information about the character that would make it more relatable

How to enter:

• Contest designs must be submitted through this online form below, using your Tohoku University account to log in: https://forms.gle/Vpu4jMYFxwE1cz9V8
• Submission period: August 1 - September 15, 2022
• Grand prize: An Amazon gift card worth 30,000 yen

Entries will be reviewed by judges on the contest committee after September 15 and a shortlist will be made. All members of the university will then be able to vote for their favourite mascot design on the shortlist.

There will also be a ballot box at Homecoming Day for alumni and special guests to participate in the voting. The eventual winner will be announced after November 2022.

The winning mascot will be introduced online and adopted as a member of the university's PR team. It will be used in promotional materials on various platforms such as university websites, posters, newsletters, publications and social media.
