What Is Achievement Award?
Our Achievement Award was first established in 2005 as part of Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF) with the aim of celebrating significant contributions to the development of the animation culture and industry. Not only does the award honor lifetime achievements in developing technical skills and cultivating new talent, but it also recognizes invaluable contributions to the advancement of the animation industry on the whole (across the fields of education and international exchange among others). Initially launched as Special Achievement Award, and then renamed Achievement Award in its 3rd year, the award will be given out for the 18th time in 2022, making the total number of winners 193 in total.
