Japanese niche fashion retailer Marui One and the Japan Foundation have teamed up to run a fashion contest for non-Japanese citizens. The grand prize: two round-trip air tickets to Japan. To enter, you must photograph yourself in an outfit that "represents what Japan is to you," with a 200-character explanation of your outfit. The note has to be in Japanese, but they say it "can be simple and short. What is important is your passion and originality.
