Introduction of award-winning works
Grand Prize
「end of the year bustle」
KISHINAMI(@namisnapshot)
“The liveliness of Ameyoko itself is excellently expressed. By capturing the shops and people from this angle, you can read various stories, and the good old days of business and bustling towns are well expressed. The color tones that reflect the atmosphere of the city itself are also exquisite. I think this is a work worthy of the Grand Prize, as it captures the essence of the city of Ameyoko. ”
Excellence Award
「”AMEYOKKO”」
ICHISE(@isse_isse_isse)
“Ameyoko is full of smiles, with people enjoying walks, drinking, and shopping. I think it’s a wonderful piece that balances the natural and unadorned smiles of children with the vibrancy of the city.”
「”AMEYOKO”」
OGURI(＠oguri1987)
“This work captures the essence of Ameyoko, where many shops are lined up under the overpass. By shooting from this angle, the essence is beautifully expressed. The fact that you can’t see the full picture of the store makes you want to go there, which is also a good point. The mood of Ameyoko in the rain is also brought out. ”
「town drinking」
YAMASHITA(＠kazunxdonaldxduck)
“A work that captures the liveliness of Ameyoko at noon. I can feel the liveliness. I think it’s an excellent work that captures the characteristics of the town where you can drink from noon. The red yakitori sign on the top is also an accent, and I felt that it was a wonderful composition. ”
