A Celebration of Autumn's Bounty

This year, the contest centers around the rich flavors of fall, showcasing seasonal ingredients such as mackerel, bonito, salmon, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and chestnuts. The aim is to capture the quintessential essence of autumn in a photograph that includes Bear-kun. Each submission should celebrate the spirit of the season and the bounty it brings, encouraging creative expression from participants of all ages.
