The grand prize winner on the competition will receive one million JPY, a Canon product and have the opportunity to host an individual exhibit at the New Cosmos of Photography 2020 exhibition, while seven Excellence Award winners and 14 Honourable Mention Award winners will also receive prize money and the chance to display their work.
