"I was worried about the rain. I thought there might not be many photographers, but there were more photographers out and about than I expected, so I'm looking forward to receiving a lot of photos from everyone. We've received some wonderful photos every year, but we're looking forward to receiving even more wonderful, brilliant photos."
Submissions are open until September 7th, and the winning works will be exhibited at the Kochi Yosakoi Information Center starting in October.
