| Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation (MFTBC) today announced the winning entries from its popular Summer Sketch Contest for pre-school children. A total of 46,500 entries from 635 kindergarten and nursery schools were received during the entry period, August 1 to September 30. After a comprehensive selection process, the winners of the various prizes have been selected. The children were asked to draw a sketch depicting the kind of a truck or bus that they see hard at work around them each day -- or a futuristic vision of the kind of vehicle they would like to ride in, the kind of vehicle that would be “cool” to see on the roads. After two preliminary screenings, 204 entries went through to the final judging by a panel chaired by Tei Yamamoto, one of Japan’s leading modern artist. The panel selected a total of 88 entries in awarding three Grand Prix, five First Place and 10 Runner-Up prizes as well as 70 Honorable Mentions. Over the last part of December and through the New Year, Mitsubishi Fuso will hold an exhibition of the prize-winning entries at the Gallery Tokyo Eizo in Azabu-Juban to give members of the general public an opportunity to see the children’s work. On display in the exhibition will be the three Grand Prix, five First Place and 10 Runner-Up entries. Also at the gallery, a large monitor screen will show scenes from the judging, some comments by the chief judge as well as all 88 entries that were selected by the final judging panel.
