JET Programme 30th Anniversary Photo Contest
The Department of JET Programme Management at CLAIR is pleased to announce the winners of the JET Programme 30th Anniversary Photo Contest!
As a part of the 30th Anniversary celebration of the JET Programme, CLAIR is planning to distribute anniversary postcards worldwide in order to encourage the JET community to keep in touch with their local communities in Japan. We hosted the photo contest in order to choose the photo motifs for these postcards, and in response, have received a total of 81 submissions.
