Il Japan Media Arts Festival è un festival annuale che si tiene dal 1997 a cura dell'Agenzia per gli affari culturali del Giappone. Il festival inizia con un concorso pubblico e culmina con l'assegnazione di numerosi premi e una mostra.
Sulla base del giudizio di una giuria di esperti, i premi vengono assegnati in quattro categorie: Arte (precedentemente chiamata Arte digitale non interattiva), Intrattenimento (precedentemente chiamata Arte digitale interattiva; inclusi videogiochi e siti web), Animazione e Manga. All'interno di ciascuna categoria vengono assegnati un Grand Prize (gran premio), quattro Excellence Prize (premi all'eccellenza) e, dal 2002, un Encouragement Prize (premio d'incoraggiamento).
