I put the message in this work, "I can change society with everyone's vote and make many people happy." I drew it so that it was possible to create a society where everyone, from children to the elderly, workers and pregnant women, can be satisfied by election.

I wasn't interested in the election at first. However, through social classes, I gradually began to become interested in elections, and I wanted to increase the number of people who wanted to go to elections, so I drew a work.

Silver prize

It doesn't change the future with a single vote, but if everyone wants it, they can change it. I believe that the future can be changed by ourselves in a society where various people can live easily with everyone.

Junior high school students

Gold prize

Mika Osho, 1st year student at Yokohama City Ozuna Junior High School

[Comments of work]

When the ballot enters the ballot box, it changes to curry roux. This is a comparison of "election" as a dish called "curry", and it is an expression that wanted to convey that the voting of the people in the election is as important as curry roux in curry. I would be glad if more people look at the work and vote in the election as much as possible.

Silver prize

Ayame Uchidate, 1st year at Shinohara Junior High School, Yokohama City

For those who think "what changes with just one vote", I would like to tell them that "one person is meaningful."

Gold prize

Tomoo Nishida, 6th year at Komabayashi Elementary School, Yokohama City

[Comments of work]

I wrote in this work that I wanted to tell myself in the future that "the person chosen by voting will do the politics that will benefit me." Also, during social time, I learned that young people have not gone to elections recently. So I thought, "I want everyone to go to the election more."

Silver prize

Ayayo Kajiwara, 6th year Komabayashi Elementary School, Yokohama City

[Comments of work]

I would like to vote on the world where my "cumbersome" accumulates more and more in this work, and if I vote alone.…I thought about the world's comparison. And the last call was a positive call to get everyone to go positively.

Silver prize

Shion Takeuchi, 6th year student at Yokohama City University Sone Elementary School

[Comments of work]

I was worried about my future self and put my wish to go to the election in my work. I imagined my ideals for the future and thought that 11-year-olds could create a bright future by communicating them to the future. And I want more people who look at my work and want to go to the election as much as possible. I want people under the age of 18 who do not yet have the right to vote to be interested in the election. Through the contest, I was able to have a desire to go to an election that I had never done before.
