Nihongo Presentation Fest is a contest conducted by The Japan Foundation, Sydney that gives Japanese language users in Australia the opportunity to present their messages by using Japanese.
The Presentation Topic for 2026 is OUR ROLE IN STRENGTHENING THE AUSTRALIA-JAPAN PARTNERSHIP.
DIVISIONS
- High School Senior Division (Year 11 and 12)
- Open Division
Entries should be made directly to The Japan Foundation, Sydney. There are no state/territory level contests as a pre-requirement.
The contestant must be able to send a message to not only Japanese language users, but also to those who don’t know Japanese by using methods other than language itself. The presentation must include a human voice speaking Japanese (artificial human voice is unacceptable), however the supporting contents don’t have to be in Japanese.
The Presentation Contest will be held via video entries directly to The Japan Foundation, Sydney.
Entry will close at 5pm (AEST) on July 20, 2026
