※Precautions for video recording
・ The submitted video works may be published on YouTube or other media. If you wish to include your school name, affiliation, real names, or other personal information in your speech, please do so at your own risk.
・ Editing and processing of videos is allowed, but please make sure that the screen is long enough to cover the sides. When using apps, etc., keep in mind that the aspect ratio of the video should not be square or vertical.

In such cases, we will assume that the applicant has obtained permission for portrait rights and other rights other than those of the applicant. Also, if a group’s entry is selected, only one person will be allowed to speech at the House of Representatives.
