2027 Young Restorers Award

The VJMC is thrilled to announce that the Young Restorers Award returns in 2027! This initiative is designed to support and inspire young people who are restoring or preserving a historic Japanese motorcycle.

If you’re mentoring, assisting, or simply know a young person working on an older Japanese bike project, now is the perfect time to encourage them to apply. With five awards being presented in 2026, there's a great opportunity for you to secure one of these grants!

Five awards of $500 are available each year. Applicants may be up to 30 years of age.

Each award provides $500 toward their restoration project and includes one year of VJMC membership.

Awards are granted at the discretion of the VJMC National Committee, and applicants must meet the Award’s conditions and requirements.

Applicants are encouraged to complete a video entry submission or the entry can be completed on this form. VJMC YRA Application Form

Applicants should apply to the VJMC National Committee by January 15th each year and previous unsuccessful applicants may reapply (the same project bike may be used).

 

Applications can be submitted by email to secretary@vjmc.org.au for consideration by National Committee members. Submissions will be assessed by the National Committee and the awardees notified in time to allow presentation of the award at the annual VJMC Rally usually held in March.
