Winners’ List 2026


下載中文說明


The 35th Annual All-American and Canada Chinese Brush Painting and Calligraphy Competition (2026) 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 150 entries (Brush Painting 124, Calligraphy 26) submitted by different schools, arts studios, home schools, and individuals from 6 US States (CA, CT, MA, MD, NJ, SC).  The images of the 72 winners’ art works are posted on our website

The names of the 6 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
Age 18 to 22: Gold ($250), Silver ($200), Bronze

The mission of this competition is to promote and the appreciation of traditional Chinese culture.  It is funded in part by: “The Tan Family Culture Fund” 「譚嶽泉蕭運貞文教紀念基金」and donations from the general public. Your support is deeply appreciated. The deadline for 2027 submission is May 31, 2027.
