Calling all South Bay Chinese School students! Submit your artwork for the 2026–27 Chinese Poster Competition by Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 9:30 AM.

This year’s theme is “What My Chinese Culture Means to Me” (文化之於我). Share what culture means to you through an original poster that celebrates your heritage, traditions, and identity.

Your inspiration might come from a favorite family memory, a cherished tradition, a beloved Chinese food, or your hopes for the future. We look forward to seeing the personal stories and creative ideas our students bring to their artwork!
