A free national chemistry contest for students up to high school grade 3, run by the Chemical Society of Japan, which also feeds candidates to the International Chemistry Olympiad. The 2027 dates have not been announced yet.
Chemistry Grand Prix has been held every year since 1999. About 80 top scorers from the first round go on to a 3-day camp with a written exam that includes lab experiments, at least one from each of 7 regional blocks. The top 5 receive the Grand Prize, followed by gold, silver and bronze awards. About 20 students, drawn from Grand Prix participants in junior high grade 3 and high school grades 1-2 and from students nominated by CSJ branches, are recommended as candidates for the next year's International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO). Some universities have special admission routes for top performers.
