| Rimi Nakayama |
| Organizing Manager (CrossMedia Forum & Participants’ activities) |
| I have returned to the new JAPAN PRIZE after one year of maternity leave. I
am in charge of the CrossMedia Forum and activities during the forum. When I
was a child, everything was "analogue". I had to think of ways to play,
study and make friends. But now, everything is "digitalized", and learning
how to educate our children in this new environment with vast amounts of
technology is an important theme for the JAPAN PRIZE and at the same time,
an important challenge for me as a mother. |

I am honored to coordinate the winner’s travel plans and to provide them with support prior to the Awards Ceremony. As for me personally, I love nature, and enjoy gardening and sailing on the ocean.

| I take care of tapes, DVDs, and materials sent in by the applicants, and make various documents. It's a great pleasure for me to join the JAPAN PRIZE which is taking a new step forward to become the International Contest for Educational Media. For me, all of those applicant's productions are really great, so I'm looking forward to seeing the final selection. |
