(scroll down to 41st Annual Japanese Language Speech Contest Victorian State Final 2010)

Any of you guys entering the contest this year (or have entered before)? I think I might give this a go!

My japanese teacher said the last year's winning speech topic was "The comparison of Japanese and American superheroes" and the speaker compared Superman and AnPanMan and discussed how most American heroes prefer to fight alone whilst AnPanMan and what-not always seem to have a supporting team behind him/them etc

Most of the topics need to convey some sort of "message" and the time limit is quite short - being 2.5~3 mins
I have brainstormed a few topics so far....

-Japanese Onomatopoeia - saw a winning speech on youtube that was funny and inspiring
-Japanese Bakemono/Oni - might be an interesting topic because of its influence in manga, but I cant think of a good "message" out of it
-Comparison of Japanese and Western Calligraphy - could discuss how Western calligraphy is non-existent nowadays compared to it being taken up in Japanese schools as a part of their curriculum

Any suggestions/ideas?

Might give it a shot - never done a foreign language speaking competition before...

Well Nikki if I were to participate, I would talk about escapism in Japan, with links to Host Clubs, Maid cafe's, Cabarets and the like.
By the way I strongly suggest you apply for the JENESYS programme - http://www.afs.org.au/aus_en/view/10592
I did it during its first year and it was the best time of my life.

oh, I went to Japan (Hiroshima, Tokyo and Oogaki countryside) for school last year for 2 weeks and I lived with 3 different home stays. Very fun timez.

Anyway, I chose to do the Onomatopoeia topic since I can share some personal experience - such as when I went to Purikura with my home stay sister and she kept saying "pikapika" to describe the photo but I didn't understand as I was thinking she was trying to imitate Pikachu... until I figured it out =="

sonnypls:
I like how you dismissed both of my suggestions :(
