At the first National High School Policy Championship, hosted by Junior Chamber International Japan, we received 2,612 votes and were named the winning team.

The competition, in which high school students draft policy on Japan's problems, drew 102 teams and 406 people nationwide.
Our proposal, "A first step toward a new society, through a hybrid of the future and the present", took the set theme — a new kind of election using digital technology — from the angles of education and technology.

Our sincere thanks to everyone who voted and to everyone involved in running the competition.
We hope you will go on supporting TEIGEN at Fifteen as we turn "why?" into force and make the wind.
