Prize Comment

Thank you for chosing my proposal as the prize this time. I am always surprised by imaginations of my kid is about to be 2 years oldsuch as letting me eat vegetables in a picute book or speaking to animals in a boook when i read it to him. From this experience, I used to think that it will be fun if animals in a picture book can talk to readers.This time, I submitted as a proposal, but I mean to make this as an real application. I would be glateful if you will use in practice when the app will be completed.

Comment by Juror

The idea that characters”=parents” react in real time makes us, jurors, feel heartwarming because it makes us imagine situations that parents using this app when they are at the work, shopping, and so on. It can be said that the idea of this Digital Ehon represent an important role of a picuture book which connect hearts of parents and children. I want to expect ideas more and more that can overwhelm the boundary of a paper picture book. (Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator/producer)
