White Rabbit Press

The winners of the Japan Foundation (London) Japan Webpage Contest for Schools 2010 have now been announced, with the site created by Ballyclare Primary School in collaboration with their partner school in Japan, Tomei Primary School, taking first place.

• All finalists
• Winning site

The contest, which saw submissions from 32 schools across the UK, gave schools teaching Japanese or doing any projects related to Japan a chance to share their work with the world. The sites were judged by a panel of representatives from the British Council, the Embassy of Japan, CILT – the National Centre for Languages, Japan Foundation London and Northgate High School.

White Rabbit Press was delighted to be able to support the competition by providing participants with sets of Kana Flashcards to help with their future studies.

Congratulations to all of the schools that took part – we were really impressed by all submissions, and encourage our readers to check out the many imaginative sites now online.

Here at White Rabbit Press we’re delighted to team up with Japan’s No.1 English language newspaper – The Japan Times – to mark the launch of their new community site Tokyo.JapanTimes

Amongst the photos on Tokyo.JapanTimes are some taken by White Rabbit Press staff – Creative Director Max Hodges spent several hours standing in Meguro River to get these shots, whilst Marketing Director Joseph Tame spent 4 hours on top of the city’s highest skyscraper to get these photos.

To celebrate the launch, we’ve joined forces to give away some great prizes including:

• 3 x Prize pack 1: Tokyo Realtime Akihabara + Kabukicho tours as a set
• 2 x Prize pack 2: Kanji Flashcards Volume 1 + Kabukicho tour as a set
• 2 x Prize pack 3: Kana flashcards + Kabukicho tour as a set
• 2 x Prize 4: Huge (A0) kanji poster

We’re also giving away the grand prize of a US$200 Gift Certificate for use in our store! This can be used for any of our own products, or 3rd-party products.

Entering the competition is easy – if you have photos or stories of life in Tokyo just start posting them on Tokyo.JapanTimes – 12 winners will then be chosen by the Japan Times when the site officially launches next week.
