Photo Contest
A few months before Oyako Day each year there is a photo contest for the most unforgettable family photo on a particular theme that changes yearly. The winning photos will be selected by Bruce Osborn and Oyako Committee members, and will be introduced in Mainichi Newspaper on Oyako Day and displayed 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.

Famous quotes containing the words photo and/or contest:
“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
