The China-US Young Maker Competition (the "Competition") is a support operation for the China-US High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (the "Consultation") (now China-U.S. Social and Cultural Dialogue). By integrating creative design with cutting-edge technology, the Competition encourages makers to produce innovative goods focused on community building, education, environmental conservation, health & fitness, energy, transportation, and other fields of sustainable growth. Finalists from both the United States and China will participate in the final stage of the competition (online format). Competence in product design and computer engineering is needed for the competition. The Finalists will be chosen by regional screening processes in the United States and China. There will be two levels of the US Regional Competition. Contestants will submit their entries online in stage one, and semi-finalists will be chosen in stages two and three. The Finals (online format) will take place in the middle of August 2021, and the top ten individuals/teams will be recognised. The Contestant decides to abide by these Rules by competing in this Competition, and these Rules constitute an agreement between the Contestant and the Organizer, Co-organizer, and Released Parties.
