At the social innovation festival "SOCIAL INNOVATION WEEK 2023", we announced a call for ideas for the "NOVUS FUTURE DESIGN AWARD 2023 (hereinafter referred to as NFDA)", which awards projects and creative actions that lead society in a positive direction with new ideas and perspectives. .
The award-winning work is a practical award that works together with Shibuya City and partner companies to realize it, and anyone can freely participate in not only communication and design, but also technology, services, research, and content ideas.
The Future Creation Club, which won the Grand Prize and U19 Award at the final selection of NFDA2023 last year, is an idea from a current high school student, and students from all over the country who aspire to innovate and start a business can interact online and develop their creativity and action skills. It is a nationwide "club activity" platform that aims to foster community and give form to one's ideas.
At the open stage on November 12th, the inventor, Riko Yoshiura, took to the podium and talked about the possibilities of implementing a "Future Creation Club" that connects students around the world with their creativity. Please take a look.
We are looking forward to receiving ideas that create a diverse and bright future by implementing them in Shibuya.

entry theme
Super experience
We live in an era where new technologies and services such as the Metaverse, XR, and AR are being created rapidly. In addition, the possibilities for expression in sports and art are expanding endlessly through creativity and new technology. Please come up with new ideas for cultural experiences.
super welfare
Parasports, outsider art, and sexually diverse communities are attracting attention, as well as women's active participation in society, the reaffirmation of the value of seniors, and the global success of the next generation of children. Inclusive values are leading the way. From now on, how can we promote a society where even more diverse people can play an active role? Please come up with ideas that go beyond welfare and are "super-welfare."
super tourism
As the inbound tourism market recovers rapidly following the end of the coronavirus pandemic, new tourism strategies and experimental local experience projects are being created one after another across Japan. On the other hand, it has become clear that there is a need for solutions to issues such as overtourism and a shortage of business personnel.
Please come up with ideas for creating new tourism areas, such as sustainable tourism areas, social tourism, and creating added value in new areas, so that Japan can further prosper as a global tourist city.
super city design
Urban design and urban management strategies based on new technologies such as smart cities and SOCIETY 5.0 are being envisioned. What meaning and value should cities have in the future for people and the earth?
Please come up with bold "super" urban design ideas that are not bound by conventional concepts.
super future
Please boldly update your city, culture, society, environment, diversity, way of life, and way of working for the future. Feel free to come up with exciting ideas without being bound by categories. Let's inspire the next future with curiosity and inspiration! !
