China’s Consulate General in Jeddah, in partnership with Wisdom House Chinese Language Education, has recently celebrated the winners of the second Chinese calligraphy competition, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Themed “Ink Conveys Emotions, Calligraphy Paints Friendship,” the ceremony was part of the Saudi–Chinese Cultural Year 2025, bringing together China’s Consul General in Jeddah, Wang Qimin, as well as officials, academics, and cultural figures invested in solidifying ties between the two nations.

The competition drew more than 300 submissions from amateur and seasoned calligraphers from across the Kingdom.
This wide participation reflects the rich cultural partnership and intellectual exchange between China and Saudi Arabia.

A specialized judging panel assessed the works across youth and adult categories, presenting the grand prize alongside first, second, and third honors, as well as excellence distinctions, bringing the total number of winners to 78.
The judging panel also honored educational institutions and specialized institutes with a special award for distinctive performance.

In celebration of the participants’ unique talents, the winning calligraphy works will soon go on display in intermediate and secondary public schools across the Kingdom.
