This page will be updated quite frequently until the final version.
from January2022 News:

The San Diego Regional Japanese Speech Contest Online will take place on March 20, 2022 at 1:00 PM. This annual event aims to foster a deep understanding of Japan and its culture through the study of the Japanese language and by offering a place for local high school, community college, and university students to exhibit their Japanese language proficiency. Further, this event serves to connect students of the Japanese language so that they might forge bonds among themselves and encourage each other's study. Regardless of everyone's hardship during the Covid19, we will go strong and do what we want to accomplish, and prove ourselves excellent students who never give up!

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at sdjscc@gmail.com

Looking forward to seeing you all in March 20, 2022!
