The "Yamanashi Media Arts Awards" (YMAA) is a public offering program for art and cultural creation that Yamanashi Prefecture is undertaking to realize a local community filled with creativity. The program aims to cultivate individuals with high expressive and imaginative skills or advanced digital technology, while also recognizing original and innovative works. It positions the Art Awards as a platform to generate new values and technologies.
The third edition, being held this time, has Masaki Aoyagi (Director of the Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tama Art University, former Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs) as the chairman of the judging committee.
