2025 World Children and Youth Calligraphy Competition

​

The 2025 World Children and Youth Calligraphy Competition drew to a successful close on [2025.12.12], evolving into a globally recognized stage where young calligraphy talents can showcase their brilliance. This distinguished event brought together passionate calligraphers from across the globe, challenging them to demonstrate their writing skills, artistic creativity, and cross-cultural expression charm in a high-stakes calligraphy contest.

Jury Conducts Rigorous and Transparent Evaluation

The professional jury, consisting of renowned calligraphers, art professors, and industry experts, adhered to the principles of rigor, fairness, and transparency throughout multiple evaluation rounds. Judges assessed the entries based on two core dimensions: writing skills (including stroke precision, structure balance, style mastery, and emotional conveyance) and creative presentation (such as thematic depth, artistic innovation, and cross-cultural relevance).

 

• Writing Skills: Evaluations focused on the contestants' command of complex calligraphy techniques, such as stable control of brush pressure in high-difficulty character structures, precise coordination of stroke rhythm, and the ability to enhance work appeal through the integration of writing techniques and emotional expression.

• Creative Presentation: Standout entries included reinterpreting classic campus-themed texts (e.g., adapting traditional calligraphy styles for modern campus poetry) or original campus-themed works (e.g., calligraphy pieces exploring youth growth, campus friendship, or youth social responsibility).

• Cross-Cultural Relevance: Works that combined Arabic calligraphy decorative elements with Chinese brush calligraphy structures, or integrated European calligraphy line aesthetics into traditional East Asian calligraphy creation, showcased exceptional cross-cultural artistic integration vision.
