Waseda Festival 2020 management staff announced that Waseda Festival 2020 will be held online on Saturday and Sunday, November 11th and 7th.We have been discussing with the university in response to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, but we decided to hold it online in view of the lack of prospects for convergence, the size of the Waseda Festival every year, and the number of visitors.This is an unprecedented attempt in the long history of the Waseda Festival.
On the day, you can watch each project by moving to the distribution page of each project from the Waseda Festival 2020 official website, which is the main distribution platform.The official website will also be equipped with functions such as project search and project introduction that even people who are new to the Waseda Festival can enjoy.As a distribution medium, we plan to use YouTube's streaming distribution service and Zoom for participatory live distribution.Plans will be implemented using large indoor facilities on the campus of the university, and will be delivered in the optimal way according to the characteristics of each plan. On September 9st, the Waseda Festival official mascot character "Seda Sai-kun" made his YouTuber debut on official YouTube.
The catch phrase for Waseda Festival 2020 is "New Now".This means that instead of aiming to replace the Waseda Festival as usual, we will create a "new" Waseda Festival that can be challenged only online as the best school festival in Japan.
