Bridgestone Corporation unsponsored ADR will hold the 22nd Bridgestone Children's Eco Drawing Contest. The application period is from December 1, 2024 to January 17, 2025 (postmark on the day valid).

The theme of this contest is "Let's Find Nature's Treasures". We are looking for free and individual works based on the beauty of nature found in daily life, as well as the charm of nature filled with surprises and wonders.

We will conduct fair and strict judging among the submitted works to determine the winners. Winners of the Bridgestone Award will receive a domestic travel ticket. We will compile the entries into an "Eco Tour Experience Report Learning from Nature" showcasing the wonderful connection between extraordinary nature and people's lives that becomes visible in extraordinary circumstances, and introduce it on our special website.
