Congratulations Nozomi!
We thank all those who participated and encourage everyone who is eligible to consider joining next year’s competition, which will have a submission deadline of September 15, 2020.
We would like to thank the four members of the Selection Committee for their work. We’ve decided it is best for members to remain anonymous until they step down, but we thank them collectively for their contribution in the meantime.
