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.
