The Council will select questions from among your submissions to appear in the preliminary and Championship Rounds of the 2024 National Japan Bowl.

  3. By submitting questions, you acknowledge that your questions become the property of the Japan-America Society of Washington DC, and you agree to keep your questions confidential. You may not share your questions with any students intending to compete in the competition
