The Confucius Institute is delighted to announce the delayed winners’ list of the 15th Chinese Essay Competition (2021), especially to the winner of the top prize Chinese Ambassador’s Trophy, Peter O’Sullivan, a Year 13 student from Auckland’s Sacred Heart College.

The competition was started in 2007 when the Confucius Institute was launched in New Zealand. It has been receiving continuous participation from thousands of young Kiwi Chinese learners, also supports from their teachers and families. In the past fifteen years, the competition has been kindly endorsed by the Chinese ambassadors to New Zealand and is titled the “Chinese Ambassador’s Trophy”.
