Competition · In person
A book-talk competition in which each presenter introduces a favourite book in 5 minutes and the audience votes for the 'champion book'. The Tochigi winner earns a place in the national high school Bibliobattle final in Tokyo on 7 February 2027.
Official Bibliobattle rules: 5-minute book presentations without notes, 2-3 minutes of discussion, then everyone votes. Group preliminaries and a final; finalists receive book cards and the winner advances to the national final. Run with the help of Tochigi's high school 'Reading Concierge' student leaders; supported by the Katsuji Bunka Suishin Kaigi and the Yomiuri Shimbun.
