Notes for application
Entry categories
The organizer categorizes the entries by entry categories and then judges them. The descriptions in the subcategories are only examples to help applicants find categories that are similar to their works. Applicants should select categories based on the perspective they wish to be judged from. Entries consist of multiple elements, and each entry can only be applied to one category if it fits multiple categories.
Entries are judged according to the category chosen by the applicants, but there may be cases where the screening unit may be changed at the discretion of the Judging Committee.
Multiple applications for the same work
Applicants cannot apply for the same work in multiple categories.

Please note that even if someone is registered as a "Business Owner" if they are not registered as an "applicant", they may not become "winners" after winning the award.
