 Winners’ List 2024
  

 
 

 
The 33rd Annual All-American and Canada Chinese Brush Painting and Calligraphy Competition (2024) continued in an online format. Students submitted images of their artwork, which our esteemed judges carefully reviewed and scored individually. We then compiled the scores from each judge and awarded prizes (Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Honor) based on the highest total scores. If a student submitted two pieces that both received awards, only the piece with the higher score would be awarded to avoid duplicate awards for the same student.

We received a total of 140 entries (Brush Painting 102, Calligraphy 38) submitted by different schools, arts studios, home schools, and individuals from 7 US States (CA, CT, GA, MA, MD, NJ, SC), and BC-Canada.  The images of the 64 winners’ art works will be posted on our website.

The names of the 5 judges are listed on the bottom of this release. The winners will receive certificates and cash prize as follows:

Age 9 and under: Gold ($100), Silver, Bronze
Age 10 to 13: Gold ($150), Silver ($100), Bronze, Honor
Age 14 to 17: Gold ($200), Silver ($150), Bronze, Honor
