I have been honored to be the judge of Kitamura Co. Ltd. for some years now. I am in charge of “Nature ” category for “Try-out” course of the “365 days Photo Contest 2012, Autumn & Winter”.
The works of the winners can be seen at:

Seeing several thousand of prints in less than 2 days needs quite a bit of concentration but I really enjoy this work since it’s an opportunity to see other people’s photos from all over Japan.
