The award-winning works of the Contribution Video Awards, which are selected from the videos sent to broadcasting stations nationwide through NHK’s video posting site “NHK Scoop BOX”, were announced on the 23rd.
The NHK Scoop Box Contribution Video Grand Prize is awarded to videos that are highly newsworthy or topical, out of more than 30,000 videos submitted to NHK by viewers over the past year.
Among them, the best prize in the scoop video category was selected for the video shot in Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido in April last year. It is possible that the scene before the shipwreck of the sightseeing boat “KAZU1” that sank off the coast of Shiretoko Peninsula was captured. The Sapporo woman who took the video posted the video, saying, “I hope that it will catch the eye of an expert and lead to an investigation into the cause.”
The highest award in the Topic category went to Shinji Kawamura, who filmed diamond dust in Biei, Hokkaido last February. In the video, rainbow-colored light particles, which are considered rare among “diamond dust”, are recorded. Other award-winning works can be viewed on the NHK Scoop Box website.
In conclusion, the NHK Scoop Box Contribution Video Awards highlights the power and impact of citizen reporting. The winners of this year’s awards demonstrate not only their exceptional videography skills, but also their keen eye for newsworthy events and topics. From the shipwreck off the coast of Hokkaido to the mesmerizing diamond dust in Biei, these videos serve as a reminder of the importance of citizen journalism in shaping our understanding of the world. As the world continues to rely on social media and the internet for news, the NHK Scoop Box platform provides an avenue for amateur videographers to share their stories with a wide audience. This year’s winners have shown that anyone with a camera and a story to tell can have a significant impact on society.
