Teachers and judges were very proud of all contestants for their bravery and effort in presenting their speeches in public and in a foreign language. All contestants received participation prizes; winners received special prizes from sponsors and organizers for their outstanding achievements. Consul General Okada presented a special award - Consul General's Trophy to the top winner of the speech contest, Ryan Brynelson (1st place winner of the university/public open).
