Award ceremony： 18:00～ Friday, November 4th, 2022
The Award 2022 is to be celebrated in the ancient city of Kyoto!
After exhaustive consideration of the venue and the date for the Award 2022 with our strong wish to bring it back overseas, the HvO Academy has finally come to the regrettable decision to hold it inland like 2020 and 2021, due to domestic respread of raging COVID new variants and the non-negligible fluctuations in the exchange rate and international airfare mainly caused by the turbulent world situations including Ukraine. However, instead, we have also made our decision to bring it to the heart of Japan, the ancient city of Kyoto, to share the joy of reunion with all the guests and the Academy members gathering together in such a breathtakingly beautiful venue as we have never had before! We appreciate any courtesies you extend to us, despite all the inconvenience caused by the delay in our announcement and the alteration of the plan unexpected.
