This year’s NPCI was comprised of two divisions: Print/Slide and the new Web Entry. Although it was our fist attempt at the online application of digital images, almost half of this year’s entries came through our NPCI 2002–2003 dedicated website.
Alongside our usual "Free Subject" category, NPCI offers an additional theme that reflects the needs and atmosphere of the year. Due to the recent tension and uncertainty felt around the globe, "Love & Peace" was chosen as this theme. We were delighted to see an impressive number of perspectives related to this ever-important concept.
NPCI 2002–2003 was pleased to work with Yahoo! JAPAN and the National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan both of whom helped nourish the further growth of this contest. Our thanks goes out to them, as well as to all those who participated this year.
