🎉 Mascot Competition Winner! 🎉 A huge thank 🎉 Mascot Competition Winner! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who entered — your creativity and effort made this competition so much fun! 💛

The winning mascot, chosen by popular vote, is Flatty, the Great Flat White Shark, created by Paul Essing! 🦈☕ Fans loved his fun backstory, versatility, and unique coffee cup hat, making him a playful symbol of Japan and JETAA NSW.

Born on August 18th, 2025, Flatty loves flat whites and avo on toast 🍞☕. With his big smile and warm heart, he’s here to show that first impressions can be deceiving — just like the ‘scary’ language barrier!

You’ll be seeing Flatty regularly in our social media, announcements, and even on merch!

Congrats to Paul, and thanks again to everyone who shared their amazing designs! 🙌
