The contest was split into two levels, with the ten participants showing off their Japanese skills on the following topics: Level 1 “My Favorite Things” and Level 2 “The Environment & Me”. At the end of the contest the results were announced, and the winners were given an award. As a prize, APIC sent Japanese books and other goods related to Japanese culture for the students to enjoy. They were apparently items that are hard to obtain in Jamaica, and the contestants appeared to be delighted to receive them.
