Round 1 Theme: My China Story   [WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT] 

You may not have yet lived in China, but there must be something about it that triggers your interest in studying here. Maybe you have visited the country before as a tourist or participated in the Chinese New Year celebration in your city or community. It might be because one of your friends is Chinese, or you have struggled to learn Chinese as a language. Or even simply because you are of Chinese heritage ethnically. 

Whatever the reason is, we want you to use your camera to record and tell your "China Story".
