2023 marks the 50th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation. Since its start in 1973, ASEAN-Japan relations have made remarkable achievements. People-to-people exchange has been a foundation for the close partnership between ASEAN and Japan which is often called “heart-to-heart” partnership. ASEAN Member States and Japan will celebrate the 50th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation in 2023 with various commemorative events and exchange programs and encourage the citizens to join in the celebration of the milestone.

For this purpose, the Governments of ASEAN Member States and Japan, with the support of the ASEAN Secretariat and the ASEAN-Japan Centre, are inviting citizens of ASEAN Member States and Japan to participate in the Logo Designs and Catchphrase Contest for the 50th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation.

The contest will start receiving applications from 1 April 2022 to 15 June 2022.
