My Project Award 2026 (National High School My Project Award)

My Project Award is a place for high school students who have acted toward the future they want to create - in any field - to share their project, get feedback from peers and adults, and think about their next step. After document screening, projects present at a regional Summit, submit a video, and the strongest go on to a regional 'Advanced' Summit; 48 projects are recommended to the national Summit. Awards include the Minister of Education (MEXT) Award, and from 2026 projects giving the Day 2 representative presentations at the national Summit receive a 100,000-yen project grant from the Showa Women's University Bando Mariko Fund. Project size or success does not matter - even projects that failed are welcome.
