The event drew 120 students from universities across Guizhou Province, including Guizhou University, Guizhou Institute of Technology, Guizhou Light Industry Polytechnic University and Moutai Institute. In the end, 1 first prize, 2 second prizes, 5 third prizes, 12 excellence awards and 10 merit awards were presented.
