The Korean Cultural Centre Australia (KCC) is to organise the 2022 Korean Speaking Contest this year for Korean language learners (18+) to participate in order to show off their Korean language skills with an attempt to win a chance to be invited to compete in the world final expected to be held in Korea later in the year. 

This year's contest will be run in a HYBRID way, making it possible for Korean language learners all across Australia to be part of. The KCC also receives attendees' RSVPs for those who wish to watch the finalists' speeches and root for the contestants.
