Selected messages will be carried in the December 25 edition of the Fukushima Minpo newspaper. The page carrying the messages will be formatted so that it can be folded into a Christmas hat. The first 200 children elementary school age or younger and their parents who bring the hat will be admitted free of charge to meet a real Santa Claus from Finland at a Christmas event to be held on December 25, 2011 at the UNITED SPORTS FOUNDATION KIDS PARK supported by Super SportsXebio in Fukushima City.
The "Smile Fukushima" project was launched by the Fukushima Minpo in an effort to encourage Fukushima residents affected by the March earthquake and tsunami. In the project’s inaugural undertaking, sunflowers were planted this summer and arranged into a giant flower shaped work of art.
