The Japan Webpage Contest for Schools 2014-15 – Award Ceremony and Presentation Evening

Come and see the work of the winners of the Japan Foundation’s Japan Webpage Contest for Schools!

Twenty schools in the UK have developed webpages to highlight to highlight the Japan-related work they have been doing, and to share their love and enthusiasm for Japan throughout the world, as participants in the Japan Webpage Contest for Schools. Now, over six months after the contest opened, a panel of judges have selected the winners of the Gold, Silver and Bronze Prizes, while members of the public have voted on the winners of the Primary and Secondary Public Vote prizes. The winners in alphabetical order are:

• Bexley Grammar School – “Bexley Grammar Japanese Website”
• Greenford High School – “Admire Japan”
• Hockerill Anglo-European College – “Japanese at Hockerill”
• Holbrook Primary School – “Japan Year at Holbrook Primary School”
• Prince Rock Primary School – “Japanese Club”

We will reveal which schools have won which prizes at the Award Ceremony itself.

We are inviting members of the public to come to the Award Ceremony & Presentation Evening for the contest, to see the winning schools receive their prizes and present their website. You will also have the chance to meet with the teachers and students at the reception after the ceremony.
