Call for Submissions for the "Snow Miku Time Signal" Lines!
Are you familiar with the "Snow Miku Time Signal," a video content where "Snow Miku," a character who supports Hokkaido and also serves as a Sapporo Tourism Ambassador, announces the time? It has been broadcast daily on the outdoor digital billboard of "COCONO SUSUKINO" in Sapporo, Hokkaido, since its opening in November 2023.
The "Snow Miku Time Signal" is a popular tourist spot, attracting visitors from all over Hokkaido, Japan, and even from overseas. We are now excited to announce a renewal of the time signal's content! With this renewal, we are publicly seeking submissions for the lines that "Snow Miku" will speak in the time signals broadcast at 8:00, 12:00, 15:00, 17:00, and 19:00!
The "Snow Miku Time Signal" will be produced based on the selected lines and broadcast. The names of the winners will be displayed in the time signal, and they will also receive prizes for each award. Through this submission project and the broadcast of the time signal, we hope to contribute to Hokkaido tourism and help energize the region. We eagerly await your entries!
