On the day, three groups of junior high school students and two groups of high school students gave presentations and received comments from Editor-in-Chief Murakami and other judges.
The first group to take part was from Kyotango City Omiya Junior High School, who picked out scenery they could see on their usual route to school, promoting the sunset reflected on the river and the local train running among cherry blossoms.

The second team, a group from Kyotango Municipal Mineyama Junior High School, analyzed Kyotango City, which is famous for its long and healthy life expectancy, and promoted the abundance of food ingredients by introducing the region's specialty sweet potato and Tsukinowaden, which is said to be the birthplace of rice cultivation.

The third team, a group from Kyotango Municipal Tango Junior High School, introduced an initiative in which they collaborated with a local restaurant to produce dog food. They also introduced restaurants and glamping facilities where dogs are allowed, promoting tourist spots where pets can be enjoyed.

The fourth team, a group from Kyoto Prefectural Seishin High School, introduced their local Jojima Park, a famous spot for watching sunsets. They made a strong promotion, saying, "It's not a very close trip from Osaka, but you definitely won't regret coming here!" and later visited the park together with the editor-in-chief.

The final group from Kyoto Prefectural Tango Ryokufu High School Amino Campus introduced the charm of the alleys in the Taiza district of Tango Town. The alleys of this small town, surrounded by the sea and mountains, offer scenery that changes with the seasons, and with many of the alleys having steep slopes, they promoted the area as a "natural gym" where you can strengthen your legs and hips in your daily life. We later visited this spot with the editor-in-chief.

After listening to the presentation, Editor-in-Chief Murakami offered a new idea: "By placing our own hand-drawn illustrations on Google Maps, we could even do something like a stamp rally. If we could create a story that would create a natural gym with courses for families and other courses for walking with dogs, then it would be great." He also praised the idea, saying, "I never thought that an idea that could become a business would come from a junior high school student. They're not just trying to make money themselves, but are using local resources to come up with the idea. It's amazing how they can organize so much information, even when there is so much. They've been able to make a presentation based on the theme, and they've spoken simply and purely. I was amazed at the level of their information handling skills."

After the presentations by the junior and senior high school students, Editor-in-Chief Murakami and the students actually visited the site.
With the students as our guide, we strolled through the alleys of the Taiza district of Tango Town, and Editor-in-Chief Murakami praised the area, saying, "It will bring back memories for Japanese people, and foreigners will love this streetscape."

Afterwards, they visited Jojima Park. Although strong winds caused large waves to crash onto the shore that day, Editor-in-Chief Murakami stood on the breakwater with the students and enjoyed the natural beauty of the Sea of Japan.

One of the students who participated in this presentation said, "I was happy that someone like Murakami is interested in rural areas and has come up with ideas from a different angle than us. This is encouraging for us as we continue our activities."
