GINZA DISPLAY CONTEST

GINZA DISPLAY CONTEST

The winners of this year’s Ginza Display Contest have been announced.
The Ginza Display Contest is an annual event with a history of some 30 years. Each year all the shop displays in Ginza are evaluated during the Christmas season when the shop displays are the most spectacular.
The winning shops will be presented with an award, and we will also be holding an exhibit featuring photographs of their displays.
