The awards ceremony was initially announced to be held on June 4 at the Hamarikyuu Asahi Small Hall in Tsukiji, Tokyo, but the event has since been postponed indefinitely due to the on-going COVID-19 outbreak.

Wow the art style in the short work winner is amazing. I also really like the simplistic look of the new work winner.
