Judge Ueyama had a few final thoughts to share with the audience. He said, "the quality of work continues to improve. Selecting and evaluating the submissions was a truly fulfilling experience. I'm sure the level will be even better next time. People all over the world view manga and illustrations, so I think that means this industry still has a lot of significance. Let's continue to create great, fun manga and interact with people all over the world. This will surely help create a more peaceful world for us all!
