Thanks to Iwamoto Kaoru four continental Go centres have been founded. His aim throughout his life was the promotion of Go around the globe. The European Go Centre is looking for people, organisations and associations that follow in his footsteps.

With permission of the Nihon Ki-in the Iwamoto European Award is installed at the tenth anniversary of the European Go Centre. The winning project, which truly supports the promotion of Go receives � 1000. There will be two encouragement awards of � 500.

Criteria will be originality, effectiveness in relation to available resources and most prominent the possibility to implement the project in other countries and areas.

We look for projects with an explicit ambition, which are rich in inspiration and have a clear strategy. Important elements that could be included are 1) a focus on targetgroups , 2) the use of a trend in society, 3) the use of a popular technology, 4) management of existing enthusiasm within the association and 5) cooperation with other organisations.
