ORIGINAL MASCOT CONTEST
Entries open — help us create the mascot.
Kyoto's tradition, culture and nature. The joy and energy of volleyball. A face loved across generations — from children to adults. Digital and hand-drawn illustrations (JPEG/PNG) are welcome, and so are ideas written down in words alone. Artistic skill is not required. Help us write the first page of the KIVALLOS Kyoto story.
