The Dallas Chinese Community Center (DCCC) held its 2026 Chinese Calligraphy Competition on October 3. We were delighted to welcome many local student and adult participants, including Chinese language students from St. Mark’s School of Texas. Congratulations to all of our winners!
Award Ceremony: December 5 at 11:30 AM at DCCC (400 N Greenville Ave #12, Richardson, TX, 75081). Winners and their families are warmly invited to attend. All winning pieces will be displaying in the DCCC lobby.
Calligraphy is one of the treasures of Chinese culture, and preserving it is one of DCCC’s founding principles. We sincerely thank this year’s judges, who volunteered their time.
