The 1st YOUKAEN Mother's Day Mask Design Contest

The 3rd YOUKAEN Mother's Day T-shirt Contest, hosted by YOUKAEN in 2021, has been replaced.

Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, masks have become a necessity. This time, we are focusing on masks, which are seen more often, and will hold the 1st YOUKAEN Mother's Day Mask Design Contest.

Guidelines for the 1st YOUKAEN Mother's Day Mask Contest

We are seeking designs for masks to be worn by YOUKAEN staff during the Mother's Day period (starting mid-April 2020).

Mother's Day is a special day for those who want to express their gratitude to their mothers.

As a flower shop, we believe it's an opportunity to convey appreciation not only to our own mothers but to all mothers in the world.

The theme for entries is "#ThankYou" - like a wave of connected hashtags, can you express "#ThankYou" in your own unique design? We will wear your designs and convey "#ThankYou" to everyone who wishes to express their gratitude to their mothers.

The winner of the Grand Prize will receive one mask with their submitted design and a one-of-a-kind "Mother's Day Custom Bouquet" worth 5,000 yen, created by a YOUKAEN florist based on the winner's requests. We encourage you to submit wonderful designs that embody "#ThankYou" and designs that express love.
