Opportunity description
The Japan Australian Friendship Association (JAFA) invites anime and film lovers to participate in the AnimeGO! Short Anime Film Competition 2019, to be in the draw to win a trip to Japan or Australia. The participant has to create a short anime film (1-3.5 minutes in length) with this year’s theme of “Hachiko” for a chance to win.
About Hachiko:
Based on a true story, Hachiko is a dog who is well known for his loyalty to his owner. Hachiko was adopted as a puppy and loved picking up his owner at the train station every afternoon when the owner returned from work. Hachiko and his owner were the best of friends. However, one sad day, his owner passed away at work. Hachiko, unaware of his owner’s death, continues to return to the station every day in hope that one day, his owner would return. Hachiko faithfully kept waiting for his owner for the next 10 years until he finally passed away. Hachiko’s faithfulness over those 10 years has moved many passers-by at the station and eventually became a national icon that symbolizes loyalty, love, and devotion.
