The Competition this year set up a new track for groups consisting of postgraduates for the first time, in which nearly 10,000 graduate students from more than 180 higher education institutions across the country participated. After layer-upon-layer selections, it finally appraised and selected winners for 36 first prizes, 66 second prizes, and 102 third prizes.
