Rules
  • The contest opens to K-12 students age from 6 to 18. Teamwork is encouraged. Appropriate proof of age may be asked by the organizers. Parent/guardian permission is needed for students under age 13 to enter the contest. 
  • The purpose of the contest is to encourage K-12 students in America to learn and share the essential knowledge about COVID-19 and how to protect individuals and their family members from infection of coronavirus.  Use of social media is an important requirement of the contest. Participants are expected to post their work on social media to generate viewership. Viewership of the artwork on social media (a measurement of how popular it is) will be considered in winner selection. 
  • Artwork must be in the forms of picture, video, animation or other multi-media format with a story based on the content from “COVID-19: Tracy’s Guide for Families”. It should be posted online and is viewable to the public. Participants should submit the URL to us by the end of June 30, 2020 (Tuesday). 
  • The entry artwork must be original and may not violate U.S. copyright laws. Any entry that has been copied from an existing photo, image (including a painting, graphic, or advertisement) or video that was created by someone other than the student is a violation of the competition rules and will not be accepted. 
  • Entries to the competition of participants under age 13 should be supervised by parents/guardians.
Artwork should be submitted online at: https://forms.gle/4H1NJbcYWUNv5pGe9. The entry form asks for the following information:
Participant’s name, age, school, contact information, URL of the artwork, and a short essay on what you want to achieve through your artwork (no more than 500 words). 

For any participant under 13 years old, artwork must be submitted by a parent/guardian of the participant. 

Submitted artworks will be reviewed by a selection committee. Committee members are appointed by UCA, CESASC and XMF. The committee members will evaluate the artworks by the following categories:
  1. Content (story must be based on content from “COVID-19: Tracy’s Guide for Families”)
  2. Quality (rating based on age group)
  3. Creativity/Imagination (rating based on age group)
  4. Popularity (based on viewership on social media)
The names of the prize winners will be announced before the end of July 2020 and the winners’ prizes and certificates will be mailed out to the winners around the same time. All participants of the contest will receive participation certificates. Top 3 prize winners will have the opportunity to present their artworks in the next United Chinese Americans (UCA) Convention.
