This annual competition specially designed for expats consists of two rounds: the preliminary and on-site final contests.

The content of the video should include two parts. The first part of the video is a self-introduction and a brief Chinese speech of three minutes or less on the topic of “The changes of Shenzhen and myself.”

The second part of the video is a talent performance. Talents of all kinds, excluding pantomime and magic acts, are welcomed and must show the contestants’ understanding of Chinese culture.

Upon collecting applicant videos, the organizing committee will upload them to www.eyeshenzhen.com, and a panel of professional judges will select the top candidates for the final competition. The list of finalists is scheduled to be unveiled on Nov. 20.

There will be three sections in the on-site final competition scheduled for Nov. 28. Finalists will again deliver their polished Chinese speeches in front of the judges and audience and perform their Chinese talent. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
