The Grand Lodge of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance sponsors this national essay contest to provide a forum for the young people who are the future leaders of the United States.

The goal of the annual C.A.C.A. National Essay Contest is to invite Asian American youths to share their voice and ideas in writing on thought-provoking topics related to Asian Americans. The 2004 theme was "What enduring negative stereotypes about Chinese Americans are most offensive and harmful? Unpleasant as it may be to acknowledge, are any of these stereotypes based on truth? What can Chinese Americans do to eliminate the sources of these views?"

The C.A.C.A. National Essay Contest will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2008, 10AM to 12noon. Registration deadline is March 5, 2008. Please download registration form.
