The Japan Information & Culture Center (JICC), Embassy of Japan is pleased to announce our 15th Annual Nengajo Contest!

Nengajo (年賀状) are special Japanese New Year's postcards sent to friends and relatives and delivered on New Year’s Day. Each year, the JICC invites the public to continue this tradition and craft their own original nengajo.

2026 will be the Year of the Horse (午年), so don’t horse around! Submit your entries by the December 17th deadline for a chance to be featured and win a prize! 🐎
