The 34th All-American and Canada
Chinese Brush Painting and Calligraphy
Competition 2025
第34屆(2025)
Winners’ List 2025
The 34th Annual All-American and Canada Chinese Brush Painting and
Calligraphy Competition (2025) 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 151 entries (Brush Painting 115, Calligraphy 36)
submitted by different schools, arts studios, home schools, and
individuals from 8 US States (CA, CT, DC, MA, MD, NJ, NY, SC), and
BC-Canada. The images of the 61 winners’ art works are posted here
show artwork.
