This is the SVWA Second Annual Young Achievers Contest
This year, we are going to have a “LoveBeyondBorder” Greeting Card Design Contest
”大爱“暖心卡设计大赛 (硅谷女性“大爱无疆界”听障助学基金)
Sponsor: Silicon Valley Women Alliance (www.svwomen.org)

You can choose to work individually or in pairs to design a colored greeting card for a special group of students in China. These students are hearing and speech impaired (聋哑儿童/聾啞兒童: lóngyǎ értóng) so the words on your greeting card will definitely send positive energy to them.
On your card, please make sure to include the following:
- 2-3 words or sentences with an encouraging and loving message in Chinese
- A strong slogan
- Color images with Chinese cultural elements (You can also consider using traditional Chinese art forms such as tangrams, paper cutting/pop outs, etc. in your design)
- (a BIG plus) Chinese sign language
Due date: May 28, 2022
How to submit: Google Form (https://forms.gle/NAKpL6ayWQovMgm18)
You will be asked to submit your card design via a Google Form. Please make sure to follow the instructions:
- Take a picture of the FRONT side of your card.
- Take a picture of the BACK side of your card.
- Open a Google Doc and insert BOTH pictures into the doc.
- Type your NAME and Email address (if you have FUHSD please use that one) on the top of the doc.
- If you have a partner, type the name and email address of your partner on the top of the doc as well.
- Name your Google doc in this format: (your school)_(your first name)_(your last name)
e.g.: If you are a student from Cupertino High School and your name is Jackie Chan, you will name your Google doc as “CHS_Jackie_Chan”.
VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure to change the setting to allow everyone to view.
