A national poster contest run by the Cabinet Office and the Council for the Promotion of Disaster Prevention that asks students and the public to design posters with a slogan encouraging preparedness for earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and other natural disasters. Top works win the Minister for Disaster Management Award and may appear on the cover of the White Paper on Disaster Management.
Posters (A3 to A2 drawing or Kent paper, any media, computer-made works accepted) must deal with natural-disaster preparedness and include a slogan. In 2026 there were five divisions, including 'Grade 6 & Junior High Year 1', 'Junior High Years 2-3' and 'High School & General'. Awards: Minister for Disaster Management Award (e.g. 50,000-yen book card for junior high years 2-3 and high school winners, plus a 50,000-yen book card for their school), Council President's Award, Jury Special Award, honourable mentions (about 20) and selected works (about 200). The 2025 contest received 5,758 entries.
