Award theme
1. Jewelry & craft (application period April 19 - May 20)
At OFS, we have sold projects which KIGI have handled previously, as well as the likes of jewelry by jewelry designers connected with KIGI such as Etsuko Sonobe.
In this category, we are calling for projects which aim for development in the shop.
Accessories are beautiful things full of individuality in which you can almost see the passing of time and even the message in the scenery. Crafts are centered around ceramics, stationery, design goods, and we are looking mainly for products which can be used every day and which will make life a bit more glamorous.
2. Food (Application period scheduled for mid-May)
The distinctive counter kitchen, which can certainly be called the face of OFS. Here, guests are invited and the likes of food events and seasonal parties are held, and people can experience getting together and relaxing comfortably.
For the food category, we plan to carry out open judging at a party event scheduled to be held at AWRD.
We are calling for food focused on ingredients, or catering plans, with the theme "Safe and delicious things."
3. Art (Application period scheduled for early June)
At OFS Gallery, we plan openings which we think everyone will want to see most right now, including art exhibitions, music events, and workshops.
The gallery functions as a place from which to transmit extensively from this shop.
We are looking for projects to have performed here in the art category. The genre, including exhibitions and performance, isn't important, however we request ideas that are able to be implemented in this space.
ORGANIZER

"OUR FAVOURITE SHOP" is a gallery and shop which opened in July 2015 in Shirokane, Tokyo. At the shop, which is centered around KIKOF tableware designed by KIGI and furniture, we sell D-BROS products, CACUMA clothing, the likes of RyuQ foods, original OFS products, and selected products. Inside the shop there is a counter kitchen where you can cook, and there is also a gallery attached.
