With the year 2000 around the corner, in order to build the world culture of heart, we hope that many artists will emerge who can express the realm of victory of God and True Parents. Therefore we would like to invite public participation from Unificationists and the Blessed Second Generation for the purpose of finding talented and earnest artists who can contribute to the providence of the restoration of God. Hopefully, these artists can spread the new movement of Godism through art.
