Essay Contest
Alongside the photo contest there is an essay contest during the same time frame prior to Oyako Day. The essay is open to any topic about your family and is to be 500–1000 words. Winning essays will be selected by Oyako Committee members and will be announced in Mainichi Newspaper on Oyako Day and on Oyako Day website at a later date. In past years prizes have included gifts from Oyako Day sponsors like photography equipment, skin care sets, desktop printers, traditional Japanese wrapping cloth, and photography books signed by Bruce Osborn.

And needn’t have fared into space like his master
