Each contestant can participate in one or more contests, i.e., speech, writing, calligraphy, talent show etc. so long as you can avoid the time conflict.

The purpose of the contests is to provide more opportunities for all students from Greater Portland Area to demonstrate their linguistic and cultural talents, and showcase their interest and achievements in learning Chinese language and culture. 2014 is the 10^th anniversary of the establishment of the 1^st Confucius Institute in the world. We hope that this contest will not just connect American students with the language, but also with the culture, literature, and rich history of China.
