The Arts
Epson holds various digital imaging contests to support the creative efforts of photographers and users across the globe.
In 2011, Epson Australia Pty. Ltd. (EAL) held the second annual Epson International Pano Awards. Nearly 1,000 entrants from 62 countries and regions submitted over 3,500 photographic works to the event.
Epson Europe B.V. (EEB, Netherlands) also held the "Be the Manchester United Photographer" contest for photography enthusiasts throughout Europe. The winner of the contest, which was held between August and October, got the opportunity to meet with the Manchester United starters and receive sports photography tips from the team's professional photographer.
In Asia, Epson held the Color Imaging Exhibition 2011, which showed all of the top works from contests held in India, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Philippines during fiscal 2011. Various new initiatives were tried for the national and regional contests, such as accepting entries on Facebook and providing common themes. This resulted in a collection of works overflowing with ingenuity and originality.

Manufacturing Museum
Shareholders tour the manufacturing museum
Many of the notable products that Epson has developed, manufactured and sold since its founding are on display at its manufacturing museum. The museum is a popular spot for visitors to the Seiko Epson head office. It was toured by shareholders after the general shareholders' meeting in June 2011 and then by members of the Chubu Association of Prefectural Governors in July.
Over 13,200 visitors have toured the museum since its opening in May 2004. We will continue to work toward our goal of an intuitive and interesting museum that turns visitors into Epson fans and makes them want to come back.
