The RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that Armenia has been invited to participate in JAPAN PRIZE (International Contest for Educational Media) 2013.

 The JAPAN PRIZE was established in 1965 by NHK as an International Educational Program Contest with the aims of improving the quality of educational programs around the world and contributing to the development and fostering of international understanding and cooperation.

Keeping these original aims, the JAPAN PRIZE reformed in 2008 to target not only TV programs but also other linear contents (videos, movies, etc.) and non-linear contents (websites, educational games, and other interactive material with audiovisual content). This was intended to cope with the circumstances facing educational media at the time, including the diffusion of information-communication technologies, the initiation of digital broadcasting and the spread of the Internet in the field of education worldwide.
