About Environmental Posters

In Inagi City, to keep our town beautiful, clean, and comfortable to live in, we annually solicit works that encourage everyone to think about issues such as "reducing waste" and "prohibiting littering." In FY2025, there were 284 submissions. Among these, 30 were selected as excellent works, and from those, 3 were chosen as the best works.

The award ceremony was held
