Speech Contest

2025 All-USA High School Japanese Speech Contest

The Board of the Japanese Language Scholarship Foundation (dba: Aurora Foundation)
recently met to discuss this year’s All-USA High School Japanese Speech Contest.

After thorough consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s contest.

This year would have marked the 21st anniversary of the contest, making this decision all the more difficult.
We are deeply aware that many high school students across the country have been dedicating their time
and effort in preparation, and we sincerely regret the disappointment this may cause.

Please rest assured that this decision was not made lightly.
We are truly grateful for your understanding and continued support.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope to welcome you to future events.
