Inspiring Young Lives Art Competition

When I went to the Culture Japan Night the other day, I met a young lady named Bei Cao who told me about an art competition she was organising. I thought this sounded pretty interesting, and could be a great opportunity for anyone with artistic flair to take part. Obviously, being me, I instantly thought of something Japan-related, but of course it doesn’t have to be! 😉 Here are the details below:
