The major objective of this campaign is to raise people's awareness of the environmental issues, and a lot of students sent their works to apply for the 8th Eco-Friendly Campaign Poster. After a rigorous screening, three golds, three silvers and six bronzes and three Jury's special awards were announced at the award ceremony.

The followings were in attendance at the ceremony:

President Moriwaki handed out the award certificates to individual winners, and Mr. Goto gave small gifts to them. President Moriwaki said to the students, "Please keep on working hard to spread the conservation activities at school, at home and in your community." Mr. Goto followed him, "I strongly felt your passions from each poster toward the environmental protection and community activities. The posters made me realize how important it is to give considerations to others." Lastly, Mr. Sumoto commented that the school hopes to continue to address environmental issues and remain engaged in community activities with the awarding as a great motivation.

The posters of the winners are on display at the University Library and many local people already came to see them. The posters are also on display at the lobby of Juroku Bank Kano Branch from December 10 to 21, 2018.

It is our hope that this event will give people a chance to think more about the environment, and will further expand into various eco-friendly activities in the future.
