2025 World Youth Chinese and English Writing Competition
 

The 2025 World Youth Chinese and English Writing Competition successfully concluded on [2025.7.2], gathering global attention as a prestigious platform for young literary talents. This internationally influential event invited young writers worldwide to showcase their linguistic prowess, creative thinking, and cross-cultural storytelling abilities through competitive writing.

Jury Delivers Rigorous and Transparent Evaluation

Composed of renowned authors, university literature professors, and senior language educators, the professional jury adhered to principles of rigor, fairness, and transparency throughout multiple rounds of meticulous review. Judges evaluated submissions based on dual dimensions: linguistic proficiency (including precise vocabulary use, grammatical accuracy, and narrative fluency) and creative depth (such as innovative concepts, thematic coherence, and cultural interpretation).

• Bilingual Mastery: Entries were assessed on the appropriate use of Chinese and English linguistic features, such as the elegant rhetoric in Chinese essays and the logical structuring in English compositions.

• Conceptual Innovation: Submissions that reimagined traditional themes (e.g., retelling folklore in sci-fi settings) or addressed contemporary issues (e.g., climate change through poetic metaphor) stood out.

• Cultural Fusion: Works blending Eastern philosophical concepts with Western literary techniques, or incorporating multilingual wordplay, demonstrated exceptional cross-cultural literacy.
