was honored with this year\u2019s JEPA Super Contents Award by Japan Electronic Publishing Association (JEPA) on December 21, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Super Contents Award is among the five categories including Digital Infrastructure and Excellent Service bestowed annually by JEPA, an association dedicated to the development of the publishing\/information industry. The Grand Prize went to Otobank\u2019s audiobook.jp, Japan\u2019s pioneering audiobook service.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 2007, JEPA has encouraged all stakeholders in publishing industry from the established stalwarts to emerging new media in the dissemination of electronic publications and the improvement of the applied technology.<\/p>\n<p>Upon receiving the award, HON.jp editor Ryo Takano quipped, \u201cIt feels a little strange, for I\u2019m usually on the other side WITH the press corps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing that the previous winners include Toyo Keizai Online and Shueisha\u2019s Shonen Jump+, I\u2019m not entirely sure if we deserve this,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, when we saw the previous HON.jp DayWatch in peril, we felt we couldn\u2019t let this medium disappear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The award ceremony and reception were held at Japan Education Center in Chiyoda, Tokyo.
