As many of you may know, in Japan there is a traditional day on March 3rd, hinamatsuri or the Festival of Dolls. In order to bring more traditional culture to eJapan citizens, we will be celebrating this event in the coming week.
This is festival for girls to draw dolls wearing kimonos that will be voted on by everyone the in the eJapan forums. In an attempt to bring Japanese culture to the citizens of eJapan, the Ministry has also decided to bring Japanese culture to all of eRepublik. Therefore anyone who meets the criteria (must be a female) anywhere in the world may submit for this event and anyone who wants to vote may come to eJapan's forums to come vote and hopefully stay and visit.
To help promote participation and to show that no one who makes an effort should go unrewarded, everyone who enters will be given a gift. Furthermore, the Ministry may give out awards to any individual who attempts to promote this event. Neither of these count against winning a higher award.
Prizes and rules to follow:

Nippon Banzai!
you ahve the rules and prizes, but you forgot to say what the contest is for....
RL pics?
RL dolls?
doll drawings?
i think RL pics ftw
The contest is for the BEST DESIGNED doll that you have created, rule number 5 says what you can use, hand drawn or the computer paint program.
Rule 5 & 9 pretty much tells you what you need to do, the theme and what you can use.
Remember though ONLY GIRLS cant take part in the event, but ANYONE can vote for the winner.
You're not very clear on the limitations of a design. Or if in fact there are not any.
I mean, theoretically, i could draw a death robot, call it a doll, and enter, like this.
The ministry can deny any entry, but won't without a justifiable reason. Just drawing a death robot and calling it a doll may qualify if it doesn't appear to be a doll that wears a kimono.
Basically, if you feel that if you were running this contest and would deny the entry based on your interpretation of the rules then it will probably be denied.
Exactly, a doll is a doll, the only real requirement is that it's wearing an kimono of your OWN DESIGN.
But there are 2 award that can be handed down by the staff of MoC&E, the MOST traditional design and the most Original design, your robotic doll would have a chance in the most Original category.
AGAIN ONLY GIRLS CAN ENTER INTO THE EVENT
as the Festival of Doll's is also known as "Girl's Festival".
There are girls here?!?
When you say girls, do you mean those with female citizen accounts in this game, or do you mean people who are actually female in real life?
@ Konno Miyuki
Sense you can't really know who's actually a girl in this game, yes were going to base it on the bio of the players citizens account, it's easier then asking each entry, plus this is the internet, sometimes you just can't take their word for it.
Sounds interesting. Good luck to the participants.
Highly supported.
@ Konno Miyuki
What he says is correct. We will be doing the opposite in May so no one should be left out.
Voted. Hope to see some of eJapan's brightest artists enter.
yay! I hope to participate. xD
That what makes me happy, also makes me sad ;_;
Tenno heika banzai! Banzai!😁
@Yuuko
