ACT Japanese Speech Contest 2022

Presented by ANU College of Asia & the Pacific

The contest will be held on Saturday 27 August from 10.30 am (specific division times will be finalised after registrations close).

Due to COVID-19 related health regulations, the speech contest this year will be held virtually via Zoom, as it was last year. Participants will receive a Zoom link once they register via Eventbrite.

Participants must register here by 11.59 pm Saturday 20 August. Participants will need to provide the Japanese and English titles for their speeches at the time of registration.

Divisions: Speech length:

High School Senior Division 2.5-3 minutes

Open Division 4.5-5 minutes

The subject, content and form of the speeches are left open to each contestant. Entrants who have competed in previous contests may not use the same speech (this includes title and content) presented in previous years.

See here for contest guidelines.

First prize winners in both divisions will progress to the National Finals in October via video entries. Exact dates will be shared at a later stage.
