It has been decided that the animation industry job fairs "Waku Work 2021" and "Waku Work 2021 -Creative Jobs-" will be held on March 3 (Tue.) and March 4 (Wed.), 2020, at the Ota-ku Industrial Plaza PiO, in collaboration with the film version of "SHIROBAKO" which will be released nationwide from February 29 (Sat.), 2020. The collaboration is scheduled to begin on February 29 (Saturday) in theaters nationwide.

This collaboration was made possible because the movie version of "SHIROBAKO" and the anime industry job fair "Waku Work 2021" and "Waku Work 2021 -Creative Jobs-" are both works and events that deal with the common theme of "working in the anime industry".

The main characters of "SHIROBAKO," Aoi Miyazaki, who works as a production assistant, and Ema Yasuhara, who works as an animator, were newly illustrated as key visuals for "Waku Work 2021" and "Waku Work 2021 - Creative Jobs" to recruit young people who wish to find jobs in their corresponding fields. The key visuals are drawn by the same artist.

A life-size panel featuring the key visual will be on display on both days of the event, and clear files will be distributed as novelties exclusively to "Waku Work 2021" and "Waku Work 2021-Creative Jobs" participants on each day.
