Greetings
First, we'd like to thank the community for submitting so many wonderful photos to the 2nd COOL JAPAN VIDEOS photo contest!
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the numerous high-quality photos that were submitted to us, as in the previous contest.
We are not professionals when it comes to photography, so we chose photos that we thought exemplified the theme "Japanese Cuisine," and that resonated with our judges.
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to those who were unfortunately not selected.
This photo contest was held to promote Japanese cuisine to the world through "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS," in order to help revitalize the economy of Japan's restaurant industry, which has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
From popular restaurants to home-cooked meals, we've received many wonderful photos, and throughout the whole contest we, the staff of COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, have been constantly thinking things like "Wow, I want to visit this restaurant!" or "Man, I've got to try this dish!"
Looking forward, we will continue to devise various ways to convey the charms of Japan to people all over the world and create a website designed with user friendliness in mind so that as many people as possible can enjoy the site.
We will continue to hold COOL JAPAN VIDEOS photo contests on a regular basis.
We hope that by continuing to encourage people to post information about Japan, more and more people will discover the country's charms and come to visit Japan after the world has overcome the coronavirus pandemic.
Thank you for your continued support of COOL JAPAN VIDEOS!
