JAF (Japan Automobile Federation) Aichi Branch (Branch Manager: Minoru Imaeda) has started accepting entries for the "Aichi Student Drive Stamp Rally Contest 2026" from Wednesday, April 1. This contest seeks proposals for stamp rally plans that tour mainly around Aichi Prefecture. Any team composed of two or more students enrolled in a university or vocational school in Aichi Prefecture can apply. The 8th contest aims to promote regional charm and vitalize the community from a student's unique perspective. Last year, there were 27 teams and 113 participants. We are looking for stamp rally proposals with a theme that can be enjoyed by people both inside and outside Aichi Prefecture, focusing on Aichi Prefecture. The proposal that wins the 'Aichi Prefecture Tourism Association Chairman's Award' will actually be held as a drive stamp rally.
