Recommended English slogans for a school cultural festival: quotes and proverbs too (21–30)
Because You’re Worth It
A phrase used as the slogan of the French cosmetics manufacturer L’Oréal, which in Japanese would be “Because you’re worth it.” It’s an empowering message and a wonderful fit as a school festival slogan too.
You could also add other words in front, like “Everyone’s the star!! Because You’re Worth It.” It’s a positive phrase that enriches the heart.
Everybody has talent
Active from the 1980s through the 1990s and a major contributor to basketball’s popularity, Michael Jordan is a legendary figure whose achievements earned him the nickname “the god of basketball” and secured his place in the sport’s history.
Among the famous quotes left by the extraordinarily talented Jordan is one that speaks about the talents each person possesses.
Conveying the idea that “everyone has talent,” it reminds us that while everyone has some kind of talent, effort is also essential to bring that talent to life.
It’s a phrase that stirs self-belief and emphasizes a positive mindset to keep moving forward.
Imperfection is beauty
This is a famous quote left by the great American actress Marilyn Monroe.
It means “Imperfection is beautiful,” a phrase that hints at the realm of art and speaks to the potential that exists precisely because something isn’t complete.
Following this phrase comes, “Madness is genius; it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” Alongside the beauty of being unfinished, it also teaches us the value of throwing ourselves wholeheartedly into things that may seem silly.
It’s a positive phrase that underscores the spirit of creating the fun atmosphere and time of a school festival.
Open Happiness
The familiar tagline from Coca-Cola ads is “Open Happiness.” It embodies the idea of sharing happiness with people around the world and spreading it far and wide! Especially now, when anxiety and worries make it hard to feel happy, why not make this phrase—one that encourages everyone to share happiness—your school festival slogan? Overflowing with positivity, it will surely excite not only the students preparing for the festival but also those who come to visit.
It’s a slogan that lifts spirits from the preparation stage onward!
Step by Step
To make a big event like the school festival a success, nothing is more important than steadily making progress with preparations.
It’s a phrase that tells us success awaits precisely because of those daily efforts we build up.
Carrying the meaning of “one step at a time,” it gently supports the accumulation of hard work.
During the preparation period, it eases anxieties about the big day, and when the day comes, it reminds you of all the preparation you’ve put in.
Time has wings
“Time has wings” is a proverb that corresponds to the Japanese saying “Kouin ya no gotoshi” (“Time flies like an arrow”).
It means that time passes as quickly as an arrow once it’s shot.
The phrase is used not only when we regret time that has passed, but also when we want to cherish the time ahead.
Because enjoyable moments really do slip by in an instant, it’s a great expression to use when you want to convey the feeling, “I want to enjoy this to the fullest with no regrets.”
Seize the day
A phrase that appears in the American comedy-drama “Boy Meets World,” which literally means “seize the day.” The literal translation doesn’t make much sense, but the phrase actually means “enjoy the day” or “enjoy the present.” It’s a perfect slogan when you want to express the desire to enjoy the day of the school festival to the fullest.
Since it’s not a very familiar English phrase, it might be good to add a Japanese subtitle as a supplementary explanation.
