Contest Overview

It invites participants to share their experiences and learnings based on an annually set theme. It has been very well-received, as it allows non-Japanese nationals studying Japanese to showcase their daily learning achievements, while also bringing new perspectives and discoveries to Japanese children through their speeches.
