The JAPAN PRIZE was established in 1965 by NHK as International  Educational Program Contest with the aims of improving the quality of  educational programs around the world and contributing to the  development and fostering of international understanding and  cooperation.

 

 

Keeping these original aims, in 2008, JAPAN PRIZE reformed its content  and now targets not only TV programs but also other linear contents  (videos, movies, etc.) and non-linear contents (websites, educational  games, and other interactive products with audiovisual contents.) This  was to cope with circumstances facing educational media including the  diffusion of information-communication technologies, the initiation of  digital broadcasting and the spread of the Internet in the field of  education worldwide.

Two years after the reform, JAPAN PRIZE 2010 received 409 entries from  226 organizations in 64 countries/regions. We hope that more and more audiovisual contents will be entered and will demonstrate  educational effectiveness and abundant creativity and that the JAPAN PRIZE will be a unique place where people involved with  educational programs and other media will learn together.

The philosophy and basic outline of the JAPAN PRIZE is at  JAPAN PRIZE Charter
