2024 Poster Contest Guidelines
-
The contestant must be a student currently enrolled in a Mandarin Chinese program during the current school year at an elementary school, a middle school, or a high school that is fully accredited by the regional Accreditation institutions like the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) or is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

The contestant’s teacher must be a current member of the Chinese Language Association of Secondary-Elementary Schools (CLASS). If the teacher’s membership has expired, they will need to renew in order to take part in the contest.
-
The theme My Favorite Chinese Character MUST BE included on the poster in Chinese.
-
Purpose: The purpose of the poster is to deepen and enhance the love of learning Chinese characters. The design should reflect the meaning of the character and why it should serve as this year's symbolic character for all American students learning Chinese.
-
Primary captions and the majority of poster dialogue, text, or writing MUST BE in Chinese characters (either Simplified or Traditional), and artwork should represent the elements of Chinese language and culture in a prominent way.
-
Each poster must be the original work of one (1) student; no group entries.
-
Bold colors, clear artwork, and easy-to-read messages are best. Please, no 3D or raised pieces allowed.
-
All posters must be the student’s original, creative artwork, including illustrations, images, or quotations. Depictions of cartoon, video game, movie, television, or theme characters, or recreations of past poster designs do not constitute creativity or originality. ABSOLUTELY NO COPYRIGHTED images, figures, or wording are to be used. CLASS holds no liability for copyright infringement.

-
It is the responsibility of the teacher to place the poster contest participants in the most appropriate category commensurate with the student’s background and training. CLASS reserves the right to disqualify a contestant who provides false background and training information.
