(TOP image) 69th Kanagawa Cultural Prize/Sports Award Presentation Ceremony
The Kanagawa Cultural Awards and Sports Awards have been jointly sponsored by Kanagawa Prefecture and the Kanagawa Shimbun Company since 1950, and are given annually to individuals or groups who have made efforts to improve and develop Kanagawa's culture and have made outstanding achievements. The ``Kanagawa Cultural Award'' and the ``Kanagawa Sports Award'' are presented to individuals or groups with outstanding achievements in sports. In addition, since the 50th edition, the Kanagawa Cultural Prize Future Prize has been presented every year to young individuals (or groups) whose future success is highly anticipated.
The presentation ceremony was held at the Kanagawa Prefectural Office on November 3rd (Tuesday), Culture Day. This year, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we held the event on a smaller scale, inviting only those involved.
