First Present Project Ends

2025-06-29

(I am sorry, but this project was conducted with the gift recipients limited to Japan.)

The project to present pop-up cards has ended.
Thank you to everyone who applied.

Since this was my first project, I was afraid that no one would apply …but I would like to thank everyone who applied.

Thanks to all of you, I have already contacted the winners and am now preparing to ship the cards.

The winners were able to give me their postal address along with their joy.
For me, it is much more pleasant to have the winners tell me their postal address after winning the prize than to have them fill in their name and address when they apply for the prize in order to collect their personal information.
It is clear what I am asking for the address for.

I think I wrote some tiresome things in the application conditions, but since the applicants understood them, I feel that the method is fine as it is.

Although the number of applications was not large, I would like to do this again from time to time in the future, as long as I can deliver it to those who are willing to receive it.

Next year is the 25th anniversary of the site, so I was thinking of doing something then.
But I think it is better to hold small events on a regular basis rather than making a big deal out of it.
The number of cards I can present is limited, so I will continue to do this without aiming to increase the number of entries.

This is the first time I’m doing this, so I have set a two-week entry period.
But now I think it would be better to give advance notice on the website and allow one week for the entry period.

So, I would like to do this again in a few months, so please apply then.
