The Japan Image Council (JAPIC) is accepting applications for its A-AIR Tokyo 2015 (Animation Artists in Residence Tokyo 2015) program. Three lucky artists from around the world will get to stay in Tokyo for 70 days between January 7 and March 17, 2015.
Winners will have their travel expenses and rental accommodations paid while receiving a living allowance and expert assistance.

The three selected candidates will travel to Japanese animation studios while working on a project to be completed by the end of their stay.
