This fall TOKYO celebrates its 57th birthday in the most magical of ways. We are looking for someone to visualize the theme of this year’s Maskerad “Fairytale Forest Fire” into a poster. The posters will be used as one of our main advertising tools for the Maskerad and spread far and wide around our campus. Once a Maskerad poster is printed it will forever remain as an archived piece of TOKYO’s history.
