About the School Education Program:

The KYOTOGRAPHIE KIDS Competition and Exhibition is the achievement of a program that we developed with participating schools. We educate children about visual principles and photography using the ‘KYOTOGRAPHIE tutorial’ and encourage practical work. We support teachers, giving them accessible tools for the classroom.

Through the competition and the exhibition, we stimulate the children’s interest, and we transform a school activity into a real art experience.

The KYOTOGRAPHIE KIDS Competition 2022

Was open to schools in Kansai, and to students from grades 1 to 9. This year we also invited two international schools from abroad to celebrate the theme ONE with us. 
After learning the basics of photography using our school tutorial, children were invited to explore their own interpretation of the word ONE in a photograph.
We received 373 pictures and selected 42 winning photographs. We will exhibit them during KYOTOGRAPHIE. 

We express our deepest thanks to all the teachers who, despite the regulations and restrictions linked to the pandemic, have continued to teach photography, making it possible for their students to be part of the competition.
