The contest is open to any non-native Chinese speaker living in Nebraska. Speech topics are “The teacher I like best” and “An interesting encounter with Chinese culture.” Each contestant must prepare a three to five minute speech and answer two questions from the judges.
Contestants will be divided into age ranges. All contestants will receive a certificate and a souvenir. Top winners will also receive additional prizes.
