Mercer University Atlanta Campus will host high school and college students from across the Southeast for the 15th annual Japan Academic Challenge and 29th Annual Japanese Speech Contest on March 7, 2020, beginning at 11:30 a.m. in Atlanta.
The two events, which will take place in Day Hall, are co-organized by the Georgia Association of Teachers of Japanese, the Japan-America Society of Georgia, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Georgia, and supported by the Consulate-General of Japan in Atlanta.

The Japan Academic Challenge is a quiz-show style competition that tests high school students’ knowledge of Japanese culture, history, grammar and language with four levels of competition. The Japanese Speech Contest involves high school and college students presenting memorized presentations entirely in Japanese with various divisions of competition.
