A contest where balloon professionals seriously compete. The works created based on the theme are art itself. At the JBFES contest, winners will be determined separately by "Professional Judging" (judged by professionals in each category) and "Public Voting" (selected by general visitors). For public voting, we anticipate gaining hundreds or thousands of votes by implementing measures that encourage all visitors to view all the works and want to upload them to social media.
・Professional Judging will take place on Wednesday, June 10,
and the award ceremony for the Professional Jury Winner will be held on Friday, June 12.
・Public Voting will be held on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14.
The Public Choice Winner will be announced later via press release and on our social media channels.
The Professional Jury Winning Work will be featured in the Sempertex 2027 Catalogue!
