New Year's Project | Reading Club New Year's Commemorative Contest 2026

When the New Year arrives, do you ever feel like,
"I want to write something," but "I need a reason to start"?
Don't you feel that way?

I personally feel like resetting the flow of my reading and writing at the turn of the year.
That is why I have launched the note University Reading Club's New Year's project, the "New Year's Commemorative Contest 2026".

It's easy to participate in,
and yet, it gives you a reason to write.
I am aiming for a space like that.

■ Contest Overview

For this contest, as long as the article is about reading, the content and perspective are completely free.

• Book reviews

• Impressions

• Analysis

• Personal reading experiences

Format and style do not matter.
Rather than perfection, I value "the act of writing and publishing" itself.

■ About the Event Period

The event period is from January 1st (New Year's Day) to January 25th (Sunday)..

I hope you will participate at a time that is convenient for you
during the flow of the New Year.

■ About Prizes

Get a "100 yen tip" for 30 or more likes!

More than the amount of money,
I want to cherish the experience of "being read and chosen by someone"
in this project.

■ About the Winner Announcement

The winner will be announced in February.

I will provide details regarding the specific date
and announcement method later.

■ How to enter

This will complete your entry.

■ Finally

This contest is
not a place to compete on the skill of your writing.

A milestone planned to help you keep on writing.

It is okay to be uncertain.
It is okay to feel anxious along the way.

The very act of participating is already a step forward.

I am looking forward to your entry.
