Without any futher ado, the Hyogo Business and Cultural Center is DELIGHTED to announce that we are accepting registration for the 2012 Washington State High School Japanese Language Speech and Skit Competition!
Why is High School crossed out you may ask? We’ll tell you why! Thanks to the support of Seattle University’s International Student Center we are able to hold the contest for much longer than in previous year. Therefore, we are expanding the competition to include chances for students of Japanese who aren’t in High School yet, as well as opportunities for heritage learners of Japanese, highly-advanced High School students, and university and community college students. The “Open Divisions” are new ground for us, and we’re not certain how many of you are interested in competing in these levels. Please sign up to show us if you want to participate in the contest this year!
In addition to this exciting new part of the Contest, you can bet on all the same fun times, amazing speeches and skits, and of course prizes galore for each and every competitor. We’re reaching out to sponsors near and far for you. Again this year, we are THRILLED that the YMCA of Greater Seattle is once again offering 2 chances for Speech Winners to go to Japan. EVERY 1ST PLACE WINNER IN THE SPEECH CONTEST CAN GO TO JAPAN!
Don’t miss out on what we hope will be the biggest Japanese Speech and Skit Contest ever. With your help, we may even become the:
BIGGEST JAPANESE LANGUAGE CONTEST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!
