Over the past 20 years, students from all over Japan have come together to compete and learn in over 10 categories including sports, para-sports, e-sports, board games, novels, literature, speech, music, dance, cooking, traditional events, relay races, and communication events. The SEISA Olympics have been held for over 20 years, with students from all over Japan competing and learning from each other. There are as many scenes as there are students to shine, and we are constantly increasing the number of scenes we create for this purpose.

In the SEISA Olympics, all high school and junior high school students will be able to submit entries in the categories of novel, essay, poem, haiku, essay and tanka. Each category will be judged by a panel of professionals to determine the ranking.

Mr. Genjiro Ito, Chairman of the Kamakura Pen Club, Editor-in-Chief of "Poetry and Fantasy" magazine, Mr. Masaru Shimada, Professor of SEISA University, and Mr. Hiroyuki Iihama, President of SEISA Dohto University, were asked to be special judges for this year's contest.

The works in the booklet reflect the personalities and sensitivities of each student, and are very moving. The Literary Award section is full of stories, some students have always been interested in writing novels and have been working on them for a long time, others have been encouraged by their teachers to give it a go and have submitted poetry, discovering their own talents they didn't know they had.

We are pleased to announce that we have published the winning entries online. We hope you enjoy them.<
