Chinese Bridge is an international competition providing an avenue for non-heritage students in PreK-12 and universities to showcase their proficiency in Chinese language and culture while enjoying the process. Participation in Chinese Bridge serves as an excellent means to enhance language and presentation skills, facilitating a significant leap forward in one's Chinese proficiency.

 

We are delighted to announce the opening of applications for the "2024 ‘Chinese Bridge’ Chinese Proficiency & Talent Competition Oregon Preliminary," organized by the Oregon China Council (OCC) in collaboration with Portland International Academy (PIA). This event welcomes participation from non-Chinese heritage students in PreK-12 and college, who must be enrolled in a Chinese language program in an Oregon state-registered accredited school.

 

The deadline for submitting pre-recorded video presentations is March 22, 2024, with final in-person competitions scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2024. This competition offers a platform for Oregon's Chinese-learning students to compete, showcasing their language proficiency and cultural talents through speeches and diverse skills. It is a valuable opportunity for students at PreK-12 schools and colleges/universities in Oregon to refine their Chinese language abilities. Winners of the Oregon Preliminary will represent the state in regional and international competitions later in the summer and fall, respectively.

 

"The 2024 ‘Chinese Bridge’ Chinese Proficiency and Talent Competition Oregon Preliminary" for non-Chinese heritage PreK-12 and college students is scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
