Komatsu Photo Campaign

This campaign has ended. Winners have been contacted via Instagram DM.
Thank you to all participants for your warm support and hope you can join in our next campaign as well!

 

 

Calling out to all international friends in Japan, if you take photos and have an Instagram account!

 

Interested to lend us a hand in sharing the undiscovered charms of our little city, while standing the chance to win local goods?

 

Join in our very first Komatsu Photo Campaign, where we are gathering any photos you have of your favorite scenes and things in Komatsu City!

 

The theme is simple:

“Charms of Komatsu”

It can be the scenery, food, shops, festivals, the arts… even an everyday scene that expresses something special about this city to you.

We want to see the beauty of this city through your eyes, and convey that to many others around the world ^^

 

And in return, you stand a chance to win some limited-edition Komatsu goods! (think local crafts, food, and even some Pompompurin goods??)
