In case you’re looking for a creative way to encourage people to wear masks and support distribution of free masks to various organizations, Japan Foundation’s Center for Global Partnership is sponsoring “Mask Up 2020,” a design competition.

Open to all amateur creators, adults or children, you can design a mask using their provided template and the winners will not only receive 25 of the masks they designed but also have them printed and distributed to medical institutions and Japan-related nonprofits.
