Contest Points

We place great importance on speaking with experts in a variety of genres.
In a traditional competitive contest, entries are often judged and a grand prize is chosen, but this contest is open to those who "don’t know what to submit" or "don’t know how to do research, but would like to talk to someone about their interests and questions they have. We, steAm BAND, are holding the "STEAM Symphony Contest" in the hope that the curiosity and creativity that swell through encounters with experts in the fields of interest will provide invaluable nourishment for individuals and at the same time create great movement in society. We look forward to your participation!

The 0th STEAM Symphony Contest held in January 2023
