In commemorating the first anniversary of the directly-managed SOZ Store, we launched the first "Carpenter Block mini" International Competition in order to present a variety of works to creative people around the world. Building on this beginning, we are seeking to further spark the imaginations of creative people everywhere.

At SOZ, we've adopted the key phrase "1 + 1 = ∞," which imparts the infinite potential created by combining simple things and ideas. SOZ is focusing on this key philosophy. SOZ's first experimental competition became the first reciprocal event with creative people who receive messages from SOZ and who become loyal users of our products. We believe we can create new infinite (∞) potential by linking SOZ and SOZ products with creative individuals, and creative individuals with like-minded persons. In this competition, we sought to serve as an intermediary that links and combines.
