Are you an artist? Do you like masks? Would you like to have masks with your own designs on them?

The Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership, New York, has recently launched “Mask Up 2020”- an original face mask design contest open to all U.S.-residing amateur artists of all ages. Winners will receive Kinokuniya and Blick Art gift cards as well as 25 of their designed face masks! The Mask Up 2020 webpage provides information on the judges from various fields (e.g., UNIQLO and the Cooper Hewitt Museum) and interesting stories about the relationship between masks and Japan.
