Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2012 Nengajo contest. 570 cards were submitted by 107 schools nationwide. There were so many great entries that it was very difficult to choose the winners.  

Each of the winners received an award certificate and an Amazon gift card for their accomplishment. All the other participants received certificates of participation. Congratulations to all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners! We would also like to congratulate all the teachers who participated in the contest. Your students’ cards clearly show your excellent work in the Japanese classroom!   

Images of the cards will be displayed at the AATJ Exhibit booth during the ACTFL Annual Conference in Philadelphia from November 16 to 18. Items such as posters, cards, and stickers with images of the winning cards will also be available for purchase.
